Busse-Denkmal

Can you hear the gentle sound of the Geeste River flowing by? Right here, on its left bank, stands the Busse Monument, whispering tales of daring fishermen. Imagine, over a century ago, the first fishing steamer, Sagitta, set sail from this very spot. It marked the dawn of a new era in deep-sea fishing. Look over to the left at the Old Geeste Bridge, which spans the river now as it did then. Behind you, just a short walk away, lies the Wencke Dock, another relic of maritime history. Think of the men who entrusted their lives to the sea, and the hope they placed in these new machines. It's a place of remembrance, but also one that inspires with stories of determination and innovation.
