Guided Story

Here you are, standing on the Karl Carstens Bridge, gracefully arching over the Weser River. Originally known as the Werderbrücke, this bridge honors Karl Carstens, a former president and native of Bremen. Yet, to locals, it's fondly called the 'Strawberry Bridge'. This nickname harks back to the once-thriving strawberry fields of the Habenhausen district. Imagine the fields bursting with ripe strawberries as you look around. To the southwest, you'll find the Kästnerstraße sports facility, and to the northwest lies the lush park of Pauliner Marsch. More than just a crossing, this bridge is a vibrant piece of Bremen's history.
