Bremen, the state with many faces: on the one hand, it looks back on 1200 years of Hanseatic tradition, on the other hand, it is a modern research laboratory for future technologies: This contrast is balanced out by the cities Bremen and Bremerhaven – together they form the smallest German state. Bremen, the tenth biggest city in Germany, is a modern metropolis with a unique charme. You meet history at every street corner – on the market square with its grand townhall (a UNESCO world heritage site) or in the oldest quarter of town, Schnoor. Modern adventure lands like the Universum Science Center Bremen or botanika present living, interactive science.

60 kilometre North of the Hanseatic city lies Bremerhaven, one of the biggest seaports in Europe and the centre of polar and ocean research. Besides the Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum (German Maritime Museum), Bremerhaven is also proud of another attraction, which was opened in the summer of 2005: The Deutsches Auswandererhaus (German emigrants’ building) is the biggest and most modern facility of its kind and offers the unique opportunity to vividly experience the touching issue of emigration.
