A view across the Weser River: The Teerhof skyline
Weser River with Teerhof, Bremen, Germany

Once a “tarring yard,” The Teerhof is now an apartment and office complex
The picture shows a view of The Teerhof, a Weser River peninsula connected by a pedestrian bridge to Bremen's river promenade, the Schlachte, and the city center. Today, the “Teerhof-Island” is a business and living neighborhood. Once it was a place where ship hulls and ropes were tarred: the word “Teerhof” is a compositum of the words “Teer” and “Hof,” meaning tar and yard, respectively. While the Hanseat boat is cruising by, the pirate-themed ship on the right side is well-anchored: it is an authentic replica of the frigate, which sailed under the command of Admiral Horatio Nelson. It is named Pannekoekschip—pancake ship. On board, you can enjoy pancakes and browse the Teerhof skyline unless you get distracted by the pirate-dressed service crew.
