Europahafen Bremen

Now a maritime boulevard

Europahafen used to be the largest and most modern dock in the world. In the meantime, it has lost its original purpose. The urban development plans for the Überseestadt district in Bremen envisaged converting the former dock into a tourist attraction. The port management company bremenports was commissioned by Bremeininvest, the responsible development company, with refurbishment of the quays and sheet piling, the installation of dolphins and pontoons for use by sports skippers and recreational shipping and creating access to these pontoons.

125 years after it was originally inaugurated, Europahafen has meanwhile evolved into a maritime boulevard and is the prime tourist attraction in the new Überseestadt district in Bremen.
