The municipality, in figures

The municipality

Bremerhaven, Stadt is a medium-sized municipality measuring 11 by 15 kilometres. With 114.677 inhabitants it is densely populated (1.494 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 5 protected areas, including Unterweser. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 10 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.
