Here I am in Bremerhaven

Bremerhaven is different. Unlike most other German cities, many of which boast historic old quarters with impressive architecture, Bremerhaven is a comparatively young city. Its history has always revolved around trade, emigration, ships and fishing. For many years, Fishtown was synonymous with Bremerhaven. Not only was Germanys deep-sea fishing industry established here, but fish fingers were also invented here, becoming one of the citys most surprising culinary claims to fame. Following a painful period of economic restructuring, Bremerhaven has transformed itself from a grey coastal town into a modern and attractive port city. The Havenwelten concept combines the citys maritime heritage with innovative presentation and immersive visitor experiences. The result is one of Germanys most exciting port cities, offering maritime charm, a vibrant waterfront and a rich museum and exhibition landscape of international standing.
