Hanseatic Harbour Quarter in Spring Mood

The historic Speicher buildings of Bremen's Überseestadt recall the grand era of the overseas port – once a transshipment point for coffee, cotton, and tobacco, today a vibrant city district between water, brick, and modern architecture. The Lenzmarkt has been using this unique industrial backdrop as a stage for the season's opening for about two decades. The market celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025, and the 21st edition follows in 2026 – a fixed spring date in the event calendar of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, organized by Messe Bremen (M3B GmbH).
