Oldenburg Harbor
Highlight • River
The Oldenburg port is located in the center of the up-and-coming Weser-Ems region and offers short, logistical routes to the regional economy and around two million end consumers.
Oldenburg is trimodally connected to the hinterland via motorway, rail and waterway.
As a combined sea and inland port, Oldenburg has efficient transshipment facilities and storage capacities, especially for agricultural goods, building materials, secondary raw materials and project cargo. At the same time, the port is home to manufacturing companies that receive and ship raw materials and products by ship.
In the innovative and dynamic university city of Oldenburg, the port is considered one of the economic engines alongside the various growth sectors located there, such as energy, IT or media, as well as the broad research landscape. As part of the city of Oldenburg's tourism concept, the port offers an attractive port of call for river cruise ships and passenger ships as well as pleasure boats.

Water Tower at Oldenburg Harbour
Highlight • Monument
The 33 m high round tower stands on a polygonal base. Plastered pilasters structure the brickwork of the shaft. Windows are set into the fields between the pilasters on four sides. The steel water tank is located at the top. It has a capacity of 500 m³ and is now clearly visible. It was originally covered with plaster. A tent roof tops the building.
Original use
The tower was built in 1908 by the architect Köhler on behalf of the Grand Ducal Railway Directorate. It served to supply water to the steam locomotives and later also supplied water for the hydrants at Oldenburg Central Station. The water tank was not filled with drinking water, but with water from the Hunte. The water quality was sufficient for the purposes.

View of the Hunte Bridge
Highlight • Viewpoint
(komoot.de/highlight/226474),
or come from the port (komoot.de/highlight/3310351)
and then past the traffic jam (komoot.de/highlight/1528446).
But then you see it already, this huge bridge that leads the A29 over the Huntetal. In the meantime, the imposing building with its 8 posts is showing its age and needs to be restored or replaced. But you know, on the way out of the city or back in along the Hunte, the Hunte Bridge is the impressive monument from which every excursion actually begins or ends.
Behind the Bornhorster Huntewiesen nature reserve and the Moorhauser Polder spread out. Maybe you are drawn to the Weser via Huntebrück and Elsfleth. Or you just do a lap around Oldenburg, in parts or completely. In any case, the sight of the Huntebrücke will remain in your memory as a piece of modern building aesthetics.
The view from the bridge is also worthwhile. However, there are a few steps to climb.
