Discover Vegesack virtually from the comfort of your own home or a location of your choice. Vegesack is a district characterized by shipbuilding. At the beginning of the 17th century one of the first artificial river ports in Germany was built here. Later, wealthy Bremen merchants and citizens came here for their “summer retreat” and had magnificent villas built on the high banks. On a virtual walk along the Museum Harbour, the Stadtgarten and Weserstrasse, you will discover one of Bremen's most maritime districts and find out, among other things, why the donkey from the Bremen Town Musicians is said to have been given his bread of mercy here of all places...

There are still many reminders of the shipbuilding tradition in Vegesack today. The old warehouse, which is now home to various companies, was built around 1814 by the shipyard founder Johann Lange. The Museum Harbour is home to interesting ships such as the experimental cruiser BREMEN. At the Utkiek, a bronze cast of a whale jawbone is a reminder of the time of the Greenland voyagers who set off from Vegesack to go whaling. The city garden with its partly exotic trees goes back to the doctor and botanist Wilhelm Albrecht Roth and is now a popular recreational area. In Weserstrasse, captain's houses and magnificent merchants' villas bear witness to a time when shipping flourished in Vegesack. During the virtual tour, you will also learn, among other things, what provisions the sailors took with them on their long voyages and why the founding of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Association had its origins in Vegesack. Let us surprise you!
During the virtual city tour, you will see photos and video sequences of the area around the old warehouse, the Vegesack Museum Harbour, the Utkiek, part of Weserstrasse and part of the city garden. Listen to exciting stories about the city and amusing anecdotes.
