a big city that’s surprisingly small Conference planner Conferences Events Meetings Incentives Trade fairs Exhibitions Prepare to be amazed … Bremen is full of surprises. Did you know, for example, that it is the tenth biggest city in Germany? Or that it is a major centre for space travel and is home to one of Europe’s biggest urban development projects? And that’s just for starters, keep reading to find out more … charming 600 years of heritage An architectural gem on Bremen’s market square and the city’s statue of liberty: In 2004 the 600-year-old town hall with its magnificent Renaissance facade was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status together with the Roland statue that stands before it. They are an exceptional testimony to civic autonomy and sovereignty. Fairytale magic Bremen’s donkey, dog, cat and rooster have captured the world’s heart. These Brothers Grimm fairytale characters are recognised from Seattle to Shanghai. This global appeal makes the Town Musicians a great advertisement for Bremen. In Japan, an entire shopping street has even been named after them. Dropping anchor down by the harbour The Weser is the lifeblood of Bremen. With its beer gardens, bars and restaurant boats, the Schlachte riverside promenade is a lovely spot for a meal or a refreshing drink – a place to see and to be seen. In 1922, here at the old harbour, F. W. Murnau shot scenes for his legendary film Nosferatu. A city with a tradition of philanthropy For 140 years Bremen’s Bürgerpark has been funded solely by donations. Local people are involved in more than 300 charitable foundations. Our Hanseatic city also places great importance on traditions, whether it’s the ice wager in aid of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service, or the Schaffermahl banquet, the world’s longest-running fraternal feast. Where is the ISS right now? Follow the space station’s flight path here: http://iss.astroviewer.net weightless New heights Hidden depths Bremen – a driving force in space travel. Airbus Defence & Space, where the upper stage of the Ariane rocket is made, is also where the European contribution to the International Space Station (ISS), the Columbus module, was assembled. There are projects in development at more than 140 companies in this city of aerospace, including Galileo – the European satellite navigation system by OHB. Conducting research into weightlessness – without ever taking off from planet Earth. Bremen’s Fallturm drop tower makes it possible. Scientists from all over the world travel to Bremen to carry out anti-gravity experiments inside this free-fall facility. High above the clouds Bremen Airport, which opened in 1913, had a paved runway before any other airport in Germany. Now, an annual total of 2.6 million people fly for business or for leisure between Bremen City Airport and nearly 50 destinations worldwide. The journey between the international airport and the city centre takes less than 15 minutes by tram. Across the Atlantic Like Lindbergh in reverse: in 1928 a Junkers W33 aircraft named ‘Bremen’ became the first to cross the Atlantic from east to west. The plane took 36 hours to complete its flight from Dublin to Greenly Island in Canada and is now on display in Bremen. One year later, the SS Bremen received the Blue Riband for achieving the fastest transatlantic crossing. Brand capital It’s a safe bet that inside every kitchen is a little piece of Bremen. After all, Bremen is home to many major brands, including Café HAG, Kellogg’s, Beck’s, Milka and Philadelphia. One million packs of cornflakes are produced every day at Kellogg’s in Bremen. Lined up side by side from Bremen, they would stretch almost as far as Cologne. Hand-picked Raise your glasses to Bremen’s Ratskeller, the world’s largest repository of quality German wines, with around 1,200 different varieties. These include the oldest German cask wine, which dates from 1653 and is part of the town hall UNESCO World Heritage site. Our black gold The taste of Bremen Every other cup of coffee consumed in Germany is made using beans that have entered the country via Bremen. In 1673 Bremen became the first city in Germany licensed to serve coffee to the public and, as a result, the site of the first coffee house in the German-speaking lands. And let’s not forget – decaffeinated coffee was the invention of local merchant Ludwig Roselius. Curly kale with pinkel, knipp, klaben or kluten – sound appetising? The people of Bremen certainly think so. Why not try a small taster portion to start with? Simply ask for the Bremen tapas or the beer menu. While you’re at it, you can even discover just what babbeler really are … tempting innovative Container cranes in Bremerhaven Famous stars City of science More than 12,000 people work at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen, the second biggest in the world. Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been in production here since 1978, including the C-Class and the SL and SLK model series. The GLK off-road vehicle is made here too. Out on the plant’s off-road track, motor enthusiasts can take an adventure-filled drive over ‘The Rock’, Bremen’s third highest peak with its 70 per cent incline and 80 per cent downward slope. Inside Bremen’s knowledge worlds, every visitor is an explorer. Whether trembling on the earthquake sofa at Universum or touring the world in 80 minutes at the Ethnological Museum, there’s nothing dull about learning in Bremen. What’s more, in 2005 Bremen became the first German city to be named ‘City of Science’. Über-cool Überseestadt Key industries in Bremen A dockland renaissance: a short walk from the city centre lies the Überseestadt district, with its variety theatre, museums, event venues, hotels, restaurants and on-trend bars. This new riverside district boasts three square kilometres of residences and businesses. By way of comparison, the city-state of Monaco covers just two square kilometres. Business by land, air or sea, Bremen is at home in many elements. The city’s strong maritime trade and highly diversified logistics industry are testament to its bond with the sea. And did you know that the longest private yacht in the world, the Azzam, was built in Bremen’s Lürssen shipyard in 2013? Concerts, gigs and festivals Old Masters and Young Guns Round and round we go! It’s all about the music: the Bremen Music Festival features world-class performers and a programme that ranges from the traditional to the avant garde. Audiences flock to hear the Bremen Philharmonic play, and the jazzahead festival brings the world’s jazz scene to Bremen. The German Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra of Bremen attracts global attention with its performances of the complete Beethoven symphonies and appears at various Bremen events including the Summer in Lesmona. Bremen’s Kunsthalle art gallery mounts compelling exhibitions that feature inter nationally acclaimed artists including van Gogh, Monet and, currently, Picasso. It is a leading art gallery that is financed entirely by private patrons. Located on the Teerhof peninsula in the middle of the Weser river, the Weserburg has made an international name for itself as the first collectors’ museum for modern art in Europe. Cologne has its carnival, Munich has the Oktoberfest. In Bremen, the celebrations go on all year round. The magic is in the mix: elite sporting action is combined with a party atmosphere, for example, at the Samba carnival or at Bremen Sixdays, Germany’s biggest indoor cycle race. The Freimarkt, Germany’s longest-running fair, brings together four million visitors and a whole host of fairground rides. buzzing Bremen al fresco Summertime in Bremen means open-air festivals and ample opportunities to enjoy the city’s outside space. Whether at the Breminale spectacular on the banks of the river, at the street circus festival La Strada or at the Maritime Festival with its seaside singalongs, there’s no such thing as bad weather on the Weser – just the wrong clothes! excellent Meet the experts The University of Bremen is one of Germany’s leading research universities, excelling in the fields of marine science, material science, information technology and production technology.

The DFKI is a leading centre of excellence for international scientific research and is currently the world’s biggest research facility for artificial intelligence. Extraordinary perspectives A tablet computer in the operating theatre – researchers at the Fraunhofer MEVIS Institute in Bremen have developed an innovative medical app that assists surgeons during operations on the liver and reduces the risk of complications occurring during these intricate procedures. The Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS develops interactive assistance systems for routine clinical use.
