Kulturerbe in Bremen

Heritage Sites

This collection spans over 600 years of history in the Hanseatic city of Bremen and its seaside counterpart, Bremerhaven. It features the UNESCO-listed Town Hall and Roland statue, symbols of civic liberty, alongside the unique Brick Expressionist architecture of Böttcherstraße. Maritime history is highlighted by the Valentin submarine pens, the German Maritime Museum, and the historic training ship Schulschiff Deutschland. From medieval churches to industrial landmarks like the Leher Wasserturm and Oberneuland windmill, these sites document the region's political, cultural, and seafaring evolution.
