Tips

  • The “Nordenhamer Ox” made of light granite stands in front of the Nordenham train station. It was made by a Chinese artist. It symbolizes Nordenham's first boom in the mid-19th century, when oxen were shipped to England via the "ox pier" at the train station. It was donated by the merchants' guild in 2008 to mark the 100th anniversary of the city of Nordenham (source: City of Nordenham - nordenham.de/de/kultur/gehenswuerdigkeiten/kunstwerke-in-nordenham).

  • The traditional Ochsenpier is today's "Unionpier". You can find it just behind the bridge to the left of the beacon.
    Various benches invite you to relax and slow down with a fantastic view of the Weser...
    From Union Pier the Schreiberlinie - MS Oceana - runs towards Bremerhaven and Bremen
