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.

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.

The German Maritime Museum / Leibniz Institute for Maritime History (DSM) in Bremerhaven has set itself the task of exploring the relationship between man and sea and making it possible to experience it in exhibitions. It is one of eight Leibniz research museums in Germany. With more than 80 employees and trainees and around 8000 square metres of covered exhibition space, it is one of the largest maritime museums in Europe. The DSM is currently in a state of flux and combines a building renovation and the construction of a research depot with a comprehensive new concept for all exhibition and research areas. During this phase, which lasts until 2021, the building will remain open - with a varied programme, changing special exhibitions and events. The more than 600-year-old Bremer Kogge and the museum ships in the outdoor area can also continue to be visited.

Before arriving I was only aware of the U Boat museum in Bremerhaven but found it was part of a much larger group of vessels forming the German Shippimg Museum. The Uboat was really interesting as were the other vessels you could board and the VR tour of the German Icebreaker Polarstern. Just before my arrival one of the sailing ships had a fire and settled to the bottom of the Harbour so there was lots of excitement around as it was refloated. The centre piece of the museum is the remains of a 16th century sailing ship pulled out of the mud near Bremen. It is not restored to former beauty like the Vasa in Stockholm but equally as impressive. I walked through the are several times seeing different things each visit. Cost to enter only a few euros. Well worth a visit
