Equipped with a boarding pass, visitors go on an unforgettable

At the quay they first meet emigrants from the most diverse countries in Europe. Like

Between 1830 and 1974, 7.2 million people emigrated via Bremerhaven to the
New World. In the German Emigration Center visitors experience their stories -

Interactive audio and video stations as well as authentic recreations make the
