Wilhelmshaven

Few cities in Lower Saxony have a history as closely tied to naval development as Wilhelmshaven. Set on the western shore of Jade Bay, a North Sea inlet, it grew from a Prussian naval base and remains an important base for the German Navy. The Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge, a 1907 swing bridge across the entrance to the Great Harbour, is one of the city’s defining industrial-era landmarks. Wilhelmshaven’s waterfront also includes the German Naval Museum and JadeWeserPort, Germany’s only deep-water container terminal. Tidal flats around Jade Bay belong to the Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Wilhelmshaven and Jade Bay relate to the North Sea coast.
