Cuxhaven Bascule Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful, renovated / refurbished bascule bridge. Functional. Always a bit busy, food truck with fish rolls. The ideal place if someone wants to take some nice photos of old, maritime technology.

The bascule bridge over the Schleusenpriel

Highlight • Bridge

Wikipedia states, among other things: The bascule bridge, built in 1955, is a steel Dutch-style bridge. It replaced an earlier swing bridge. The construction was carried out by the MAN plant in Gustavsburg. Dutch-style bridges have counterweights mounted high above the ground.

The bridge has a clearance width of 19 meters and a roadway width of 6 meters. It opens in 47 seconds, 3,700 times per year, and daily as needed between 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. In 2015, the bridge was renovated and its mechanism was modernized with a hydraulic system.

Old Fishing Harbor, Cuxhaven

Highlight • Structure

The fishing port offers a nice starting point for a harbor tour, during which you can see many interesting ships that lie or have been "parked" here in the shipyard.

Cuxhaven Sea Lock

Highlight • Structure

🏗️ In Cuxhaven, the term "Große Schleuse" (Great Lock) usually refers to the Cuxhaven sea lock. It is the technical bottleneck between the Elbe (North Sea) and the inner harbor basins of the fishing port.

Old Fishing Harbour, Cuxhaven

Highlight • Historical Site

Seven hectares of future are being created in Cuxhaven - and you can be there. We are looking for restaurateurs and manufacturers, special offers and retailers, hoteliers and office tenants.
... so it is on the WEB site of the fishing port ... and many posters show the future in colorful pictures; a few fences signal a mood of change.
Big and small fishing cutters stand in the harbor basin, halls with fresh fish, fish bars and small, originally acting "pubs" line the harbor mile.
Somehow, here too, a very special flair.
