history
In 1873 the Reichs-Seemannsordnung was enacted for the uniform protection of seafarers far away from home and as a set of rules on board the merchant ships. Seaman's offices were set up in the port cities. Before that, the Wasserschout (Dutch: Waterschout, Schout = Schultheiß ) regulated the interests of seafarers in the ports . From 1873 to 1901 the seaman's office had its rooms in Sielstrasse (today Preßburgerstrasse) and then opposite the present building.
Today, the Bremerhaven Seafarer's Office is a state authority at Steubenstrasse 7 A (near Columbus train station) in the business area of the Hanseatic City of Bremerhaven Port Authority .
The two-storey, seven-axis, representative building Seemannsamt with its three-storey, richly decorated, baroque gable with pinnacles and the two side step gables on the two wings of the V-shaped building, was built in the historicism style by 1901 . A three-masted ship is depicted in the stone relief in the gable. The house was the only house in this area to survive the bombing raids of 1944.
The State Center for Political Education, Branch Office Bremerhaven, the State Office for Training Funding - Branch Office Bremerhaven and the Bremen Central Office for the Realization of Equal Rights for Women (FZS) - Branch Office Bremerhaven use the building today (2018).
