Friedrich Thiemann Container Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower, consisting of old containers, offers a direct view of the north lock. With a bit of luck, you can watch a car freighter lock here. Behind the lock you have a beautiful view of the container port, the loading of wind turbines and the Weser. Entry is free.

New Harbour

Highlight • Structure

In some places you have to get away from the water through the harbors to get further, but beautiful paths on the dike and a small beach give a nice coastal feeling.

Bremerhaven Water Level Indicator

Highlight • Monument

the Bremerhaven water level indicator is located at the southern end of the Weser dike in Mitte. He informed ship guides about the tide level of the Weser estuary. Like the Mayor Smidt Memorial Church and the "Lange Heinrich" in the past, the water level indicator is Bremerhaven's landmark.

Unfortunately, the viewing platform in the Überseehafen has been closed for years, so you can save yourself the trip there.

The way from Inselstraße (customs station) is a bit monotonous on Sundays, but the goal, the view from the container observation tower over the international port, is definitely worth it.

The marsh poet Hermann Allmers lured me to Bremerhaven, but more on that later.
The city has an impressive number of ports: Old Port, New Port, Museum Port, Imperial Port, Connecting Port, North Port - it's easy to lose track. Huge sea ferries suddenly appear alongside picturesque traditional sailing ships and fishing boats. Almost every view is spectacular.

Nice walk along the Weser dyke, actually wanted to do a long loop, unfortunately the damaged swing bridge at the Kaiserhafen is not even close to being built yet. So I had to go back the same way, but it was still very nice with wonderful weather. Next year is "Sail 2025", definitely worth a visit.
