History
The town was founded in 1827, but there were settlements in the vicinity as early as the 12th century. Johann Smidt ( November 5 1773 &ndash May 7 1857) was an important Bremen Politician, Theologian, and founder Year 1827 ( MDCCCXXVII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Common These tiny villages were built on small islands in the swampy estuary. There were early plans to found a fortified town on this site to protect ships leaving or entering the Weser River, and in 1672 Swedish colonists tried unsuccessfully to erect a castle (Carlsburg) there. The Weser (ˈveːzɐ is a River in north-western Germany. Formed at Hann "Sverige" redirects here For other uses see Sweden (disambiguation and Sverige (disambiguation.
Finally, in 1827 the city of Bremen bought the territories at the mouth of the Weser from the Kingdom of Hanover. Bremen (ˈbʁeːmən is a Hanseatic city in northwestern Germany (official name Stadtgemeinde Bremen / City Municipality of Bremen The Kingdom of Hanover (Königreich Hannover was established in October of 1814 by the Congress of Vienna, with the restoration of George III to his Hanoverian Bremen sought this territory in order to retain its share of Germany's overseas trade, which was threatened by the sedimentation of the Weser around the old inland port of Bremen. Bremerhaven was born and became a second harbour for Bremen, despite being 50 km downstream. Due to trade with and emigration to North America, the port and the town grew quickly.
The Kingdom of Hanover founded a rival town next to Bremerhaven and called it Geestemünde (1845). The Kingdom of Hanover (Königreich Hannover was established in October of 1814 by the Congress of Vienna, with the restoration of George III to his Hanoverian Year 1845 ( MDCCCXLV) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common Both towns grew and established the three economic pillars of trade, shipbuilding and fishing. In 1927 Geestemünde and the neighbouring municipalities of Lehe and Wulsdorf were united to become the new city of Wesermünde, and in 1939 Bremerhaven was removed from the jurisdiction of Bremen and made a part of Wesermünde. Year 1927 ( MCMXXVII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Year 1939 ( MCMXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.
Bremerhaven was one of the important harbours of emigration in Europe.
As a key base of the Kriegsmarine, most of the city was destroyed in World War II; however, key parts of the port were deliberately spared by the Allied forces to provide a usable harbour to supply the Allies after the war. The Kriegsmarine (English "War navy" was the name of the German Navy between 1935 and 1945 during the Nazi regime superseding the World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including The Allies of World War II were the countries officially opposed to the Axis powers during the Second World War.

The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (German Freie Hansestadt Bremen) is the smallest of Germany's 16 Federal States ( Bundesländer) Today, Bremerhaven is therefore part of the state of Bremen, but is a city in its own right. This is complicated somewhat by the fact that the "overseas port" of Bremerhaven belongs directly to the city of Bremen since 1927. Further complicating matters, the municipal administration of those parts belonging directly to Bremen (known as stadtbremisch) is the responsibility of Bremerhaven, on the basis of a treaty between the two cities (as mentioned in Section 8 of Bremerhaven's municipal constitution).
