The Klimahaus Bremerhaven takes conferences and seminars for up to 150 people, receptions and gala evenings for up to 850 guests in its foyer, and weddings and themed parties inside its exhibition. It is a science center about climate, climate change and weather, on Am Längengrad in Bremerhaven, on Germany's North Sea coast.
Seminars and company events
Five meeting rooms named after places on the exhibition route sit alongside the foyer. Kyoto is the largest, at 158 square meters for up to 150 people, with daylight and a built-in projector. Bali, at 145 square meters, takes up to 110 and gains daylight when combined with the next room. Rio is a 138 square meter auditorium with fixed rows for 100, a built-in screen and a mobile stage. Montreal, a 95 square meter workshop room, holds 60, and the Zukunftswerkstatt, at 34 square meters, takes 20 around a 75 inch 4K interactive panel with writable wall cabinets. All rooms have HD projectors and screens, and lecterns, moderation kits and light and sound equipment can be added. The team also builds side programs for congresses held in the adjacent congress center. Team building options include mini golf along the 8th meridian, and a Christmas party can be paired with a guided tour or a reception in one of the exhibition's travel stations.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold their ceremony in the Samoa section of the exhibition, follow it with a gala dinner in the building and use the exhibits as a backdrop for photos. Themed formats include a beach party in Samoa and a dinner set in a deep sea scene.
Rooms and capacities
The foyer covers 300 square meters and holds up to 850 people standing, with 120 seats on its landscape staircase. It suits receptions and evening events, and the cash desk area can be dismantled to free the floor. The meeting rooms range from 20 to 150 people, all with a stated maximum rather than figures per layout.
Catering
Catering is in-house for every format. Options run from small bites and a Samoa buffet to a culinary journey around the world, built on regional and seasonal products. Finger food can be served inside the travel stations on request. A restaurant and café also operate during the day for exhibition visitors.
History and setting
The Klimahaus opened in 2009. Its exhibition follows a journey along the 8th degree of longitude east through several climate zones, from the Alps to Antarctica and the South Pacific, before returning to Bremerhaven. The oval building has an illuminated facade and is entered across a glass bridge. It placed third in a national ranking of the best German meeting and event venues, its ninth award.
Getting there
The address is Am Längengrad 8, 27568 Bremerhaven, in the Havenwelten district by the harbor. Bremerhaven Hauptbahnhof has regional trains from Bremen in about 40 minutes, with buses from the station to the Havenwelten. Bremen Airport is about an hour away. The building has been checked for accessibility.
