Klimahaus Bremerhaven 8° Ost

Reviewed By 598saraha - Norwich, United Kingdom

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.

U-Boot Wilhelm Bauer

Reviewed By YvoVandenbempt - Bierbeek, Belgium

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

Viewing Platform SAIL City

Reviewed By Bonglabongla

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.

Deutsches Schiffahrts Museum

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

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.
