A historic steam-driven shunting crane stands on the former western quay in the southern part of Bremerhaven’s Old Harbour. Built in 1939/40 by Orenstein & Koppel AG in Lübeck, this dockyard crane was used at the Kurt Bartels yachtyard in Elsfleth until 1972. Powered by a horizontal reversible twin-cylinder steam engine, it could lift up to 3 tonnes, reach 6 meters, and rotate a full 360 degrees — a fascinating piece of maritime industrial heritage.

A bright red lightship rests in the Old Harbor of Bremerhaven, reflecting softly on the calm water under a clear blue sky. Surrounded by historic masts and the city waterfront, the scene captures the maritime character of the harbor beautifully.
