Walkiefer

You're standing in front of the Vegesack Whale Jawbone, a memorial erected in 1987 at the Vegesack Harbor. It serves as a testament to the maritime history of the area, recalling the significance of whaling that once defined Vegesack's life. Listed among Bremen's monuments, it is an integral part of the region's historical identity. As you look around, you might notice the nearby Havenhaus, just 36 meters northeast, or the Overbeck Museum slightly further north. This setting reflects Vegesack's rich history and culture. It's a place that encourages contemplation of the past and the development of this harbor town, without explicitly inviting engagement.
