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
