Vegesack Ferry and Strandlust

Highlight • Bridge

Totally beautiful maritime, you can also take the ferry over to Lemwerder, by bike and as a pedestrian it is very cheap. Also possible by car, but it costs just under five euros.

Vegesack Whale Jaw

Highlight • Monument

Commemorating whaling in northern Bremen
For more than 30 years, a bronze monument has stood at the Utkiek (opening) of Vegesack Harbor, commemorating the whaling tradition of this northern Bremen district: the Whale Jaw.
In the 17th century, Vegesack was an important base for whaling in the Arctic, and whale oil was a sought-after fuel at the time. Around 1725, up to 25 ships sailed from Vegesack into the Arctic waters every year to hunt for prey, until petroleum made oil extraction unprofitable in 1872.
In 1963, the Norwegian shipowner Anders Jahre donated two real whale jaws to the city of Bremen to commemorate the whaling tradition. However, these jaws suffered so much damage over the years due to the effects of weather that they were replaced with a bronze cast in the same location.
The large whale jaw halves in Vegesack are now an integral part of the district's image and are listed as historical monuments.

Schönebeck Castle

First documented in 1357 as a castle complex, built around 1640 in the Baroque style and probably owned by the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen since 1950: Schönebeck Palace is one of the most important architectural monuments in the north of Bremen. In 1972 the "Heimat- und Museumsverein für Vegesack und Umgebung e.V." established a museum here. The focus of the largely own collection: historical whaling, the beginnings of the industrial development of the region using the example of ceramic production and rope factories, the beginning of rescuing shipwrecked people, Vegesack herring fishing and the time of sailing and steam shipping from Vegesack to the world, Africa -Travelers Gerhard Rohlfs and the South Sea captain Eduard Dallmann.

Bremen Blind Garden

Highlight • Natural

Even for the non-blind, it is worthwhile to close your eyes and experience plants, trees, etc. just haptically instead of optically.

View of the River Lesum from Knoops Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view of the Lesum. You already have Knoops Park "in your back" here... But it's worth turning around and enjoying the park - lots of different trees, a few nice features like bridges and benches are interspersed...

Knoops Park

Highlight • Natural

A very nice park to relax in nature. It's very beautiful in summer, but nature can also be enjoyed in winter. There are also events in the park that you can visit throughout the year.
