Bremerhaven (; ) is a city on the east bank of the Weser estuary in northeastern Germany, and is a political exclave of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. The River Geeste flows through the city before emptying into the Weser.
Bremerhaven was founded in 1827 as a seaport for Bremen, and it remains one of the busiest ports in the country. It was historically rivalled by Geestemünde [de] on the opposite side of the Geeste, which belonged to Hanover (and later Prussia). Geestemünde united with neighbouring Lehe [de] to form the city of Wesermünde [de] in 1924, and Bremerhaven was itself annexed to Wesermünde in 1939, but the entire conurbation was restored to Bremen in 1947.
