Where to stay in Weddewarden
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Beds are scarce out here. Travellers who want Weddewarden usually book inside Bremerhaven instead, where the hotels gather near the Alter Hafen and the German Emigration Center rather than on the district's own lanes. The drive back is short.
You give up little by basing yourself in the port city, since the Zionkirche and the American chapel that mark Weddewarden are an easy run from the centre, and the Weser waterfront stays in reach all day.

About Weddewarden
What are the main landmarks in Weddewarden?
Weddewarden holds two named buildings. The Zionkirche and the American chapel are what the record attaches to the district itself, while the Bremerhaven landmarks that fill guidebooks, among them the German Maritime Museum, the Klimahaus Bremerhaven and the German Emigration Center, stand nearer the Weser. Alter Hafen and the Bremerhaven Zoo belong to that same run of the city.
What is the history of Weddewarden?
Weddewarden's own start date never got written down. Bremerhaven dates from 1827, and Weddewarden's story runs with that city rather than apart from it, the district counted inside the boundary of the Weser port. The Zionkirche and the American chapel are the only structures the record names for it.
Bremen still holds the ground.
Where is Weddewarden?
