The city of Bremerhaven, state of Bremen, Germany

 The safest harbor is a well-functioning elaborative mind, because only such a mind can find the best solutions to the most difficult problems!” ― Mehmet Murat ildan

=================
(in Germany's state of Bremen) The city of Bremerhaven lies on the east side of the Weser estuary, on both banks of the Geeste River at its junction with the Weser. It became a municipality by the amalgamation of three separate towns: Bremerhaven, founded (in 1827) as a port for Bremen by its mayor, Johann Smidt, on territory ceded by Hanover; Geestemünde, founded by Hanover in 1845; and Lehe, a borough dating from medieval times that attained town status in 1920. This unified city became known (after WWII) as Bremerhaven. Repeated cessions of Prussian territory expanded the docks after the opening of the "Old Harbor” in 1830, and Bremerhaven developed as Germany’s largest fishing port. After 1857, as headquarters of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company, it became Germany’s largest passenger port, with its Columbus Quay and Columbus Station handling transatlantic traffic. Most freight traffic was diverted to Bremen after improvements were made to the Weser Channel (in the late 19th century. The harbor is now especially important for handling containers and the import and export of motor vehicles.
