City of Bremen

The City of Bremen receives its Overseas Guests at the Columbus Quay, in Bremerhaven, in the European "Station on the Sea-front. In 1 ½ hours by train or 50 minutes by motorcar, one reaches the 70 Kilometers distant City on the Weser, the old Hanseatic City of Bremen, the city which, as a cultivated patrician city with its magnificent sites, offers the traveling public beautiful historical buildings and select Hotels and Restaurants, and at the same time, possessing most modern docks is the busy center of an extensive overseas-trade.

In contrast to the everyday appearance of many of the Hanseatic towns, Bremen presents an architectural picture that makes everyone feel at home. Century-old tradition has made its impression. The Market Square is the focus of all that is characteristic of this city.

The grouping of such venerable buildings as the magnificent City Hall, the valiant Roland, the Cathedral Spires reaching heavenwards, and the golden "Schütting" (Chamber of Commerce) was created from that proud, independent spirit of citizenship that has made Bremen.

The same energy of tenacious citizenship sailed the first steamship on the Weser, inaugurated the first regular transatlantic Mail Line between Bremen and New York, created the first commercial submarine, and rendered possible the first East-to-West flight over the ocean. But all this has not disturbed the dignified tranquility of the City.

The city's center is too distant from the docks, shipyards, and factories to be affected by their noises. The old moats are still in a good state of preservation and, like a green garland, entwine the actual City with its numerous reminiscences of the German medieval period.

Although modern Offices and Administration buildings have sprung up in the City and the Rhythm of Life has become more pronounced, the melody has remained the same.

Even Romance survives and has found an expression equally courageous as it is vital in the Böttcherstraße, which branches off from the Market Square. No wonder, then, that many a globe-trotter was captivated with Bremen and meditatively sat in the "Ratskeller" brooding over the question as to how it was that this City offered a feeling of security and at the same time disclosed so much energy; how it was that this City supplied the whole of Europe with Cotton, has old Buildings, and is the home of the Norddeutscher Lloyd who can claim as their own, the fastest ships in the world, "Bremen" and "Europa", and who open up connections to all parts of the globe.

Special Advisory Service for Passengers

A popular feature of the Norddeutscher Lloyd express liners is the innovation of a Special Advisory Service for the benefit of our passengers. The purpose of this unique service is to counsel all passengers who may so wish, to the best of their ability, no matter in which class they may be traveling.

For instance, the way is paved for passengers seeking commercial or cultural connections in America by furnishing them with a letter of introduction to the organization or person concerned and, where possible, by making them acquainted with one another on board.

Passengers traveling alone, or for the first time, are brought together with other passengers who, perhaps, are hound for the same destination. Then again, passengers with any physical impediment, who may be traveling alone, are tended to and cared for in the most concerned manner to make their voyage as enjoyable as ever possible.

Any advice or assistance that it is possible to give is free of all charge.

This unique service to passengers is under the management of Fräulein Elly Dackau, whose office is on the main Promenade deck opposite the bookshop.

"Special Travel Service"

A Special Service Secretary on board will advise and assist passengers in visiting a foreign country. This service is also available for travelers for any particular purpose, such as business, social, educational, etc. This office is prepared to give any information gratis and assist in bringing the passenger in touch with the desired persons or firms.

Treatment of sea sickness.

Experience has hitherto shown that good results are attained by this method. Passengers wishing to be treated by this new process are requested to apply to the ship's doctor.

A small charge of Mks. 2 (about 80c.) is made for each treatment, the amount to be paid to the Chief Steward. A printed form is provided on which to enter a memo of treatments received, and this is to be handed in at the Chief Steward's office at the end of the voyage when settlement is made for sundry expenses incurred during the voyage.
