City Profile

More than 1,200 years of history have shaped Bremen’s heritage as a cosmopolitan port and trade center. While much of its original atmosphere has been preserved, it is a modern city in tune with the future. Trade and shipping, which have determined the character of the city for centuries, still play an essential role. At the same time Bremen is the site for the automobile (DaimlerChrysler), the electronics (Siemens), and the aviation and aerospace (Airbus, EADS) industries, as well as a center of packaged foods and beverages (Kraft Foods, Kellogg, Beck’s Beer).
