Bremen Passenger Lists 1881-1951

New Dock, Bremerhaven 1907. GGA Image ID # 17548b0912

Bremerhaven, the seaport of the City Municipality of Bremen, a Hanseatic city in northwestern Germany, is a city of significant importance. Bremen, a commercial and industrial city, owes much of its prosperity to the major port on the River Weser, which is part of the Bremen-Oldenburg metropolitan area.

Bremen, located some 60 km (37 mi) south of the Weser mouth on the North Sea, and Bremerhaven, right on the mouth, form a unique geographical duo. Together, they comprise the state of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, a fascinating blend of land and sea.

While technically, passengers embarked and disembarked in Bremerhaven, the passenger lists all state Bremen and the origination or destination port.
