A friend recommended Klimahaus so decided to visit with a different friend and it was the first visit for both of us. We both agreed that it was excellent value for money because there is so much to see and do and plenty of interactive exhibits. I was really interested in the exhibition about renewable energy and visiting the different climates was very good. There is a very good aquarium area as you walk through the climates and a lot of the information was available in English as well as German. It was fairly busy with school children when we arrived and the building is quite echoey so meant a lot of noise which was the only downside but can appreciate that it is the perfect place for school groups so this was to be expected. Overall really recommend this place, it has lots to offer, is easy to find and has parking right underneath.

The German submarine or U-Boot was a formidable weapon during the first half of the Second World War. When allied counter measures improved, the German navy developped the new types XXI & XXIII which were virtually undetectable at the end of the conflict. A fine example of the Type XXI can be visited here to get an impression how live was in a submarine

In Europe’s largest and most modern theme museum on the topic of emigration, the German Emigration Center, Bremerhaven (Deutsches Auswandererhaus), you can authentically follow the paths of 7 Million Europeans who left their homeland via the port of Bremerhaven, Germany in search for a better life in the New World and begin a personal search for your own ancestors using our state of the art research facilities.

This museum is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of European emigration in the 19th and 20th century. Although the entrance is a bit costly, it is definitely worth the visit. With your ticket, an emigrant's and an immigrant's profiles are attributed to you and you can follow them through their journey out of Europe or to Germany, through all the various stages. Dozens of real stories of emigration are very successfully inserted into the historical canvass of the various political, religious and economic factors that pushed people to emigrate. The interior of a shipcabin at various times is also very-well reproduced. Along the way, you can listen to many commentaries, descriptions, testimonies... The second part of the museum, on immigration to Germany, is also very interesting and similarly shows a dozen various trajectories of immigration from diverse cultural backgrounds, far from clichés.

There are no entry personel , you buy your ticker from a machine inside the door. The entrance is not connected to the hotel you have to go round the side. You then have to wait for the lift, which in Covid times, means the queue can stretch to the outside, as only two people (unless from same household) can use the lift at the same time. There are no alternative stairs. The lift journey is limited to the entry and exit floors , so fairly quick. Once you are up , there are markungs and a one-way system which are not difficult to follow. The view is fabulous., you see the Weser estuary spread out on one side, you finally understand how big the harbour is, and how water dominates the living /office spaces aound here. There are explainatory tables of landmarks. We were glad we took the time to get this view.

The perspective from which our barges let you experience Bremerhaven is absolutely unique. Only on our harbour tours you can appreciate the impressive, huge dimensions of freighters and transport ships and admire them so closely. The round trip starts directly in the new touristy heart of Bremerhaven, on the South end of the New Harbour and just a stone’s throw from other tourist attractions like the German Emigration Center Bremerhaven or the “Klimahaus,” a climate research and exhibition centre. Taking off from our pier, the one-hour trip takes us through the New Harbour and the so-called Kaiserhäfen (Emperor’s Harbours) I, II and III, where you can take a look at the new enlarged watergate “Kaiserschleuse” while driving by.
