Oh, come on, this was automatically translated from german to english by some program... Hard to understand, if understandable at all..

 * In this case I'll revert: it is almost impossible to work out what the text says. -- (WT-en) Hypatia 05:55, 1 Dec 2004 (EST)

Geography
"...it stretches 1 km, but across only 2 km". I think that the distances given are totally wrong. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) Safdarmarwat (talk • contribs)


 * I think it is referring to the city centre. --(WT-en) inas 18:20, 11 January 2011 (EST)

Another banner?
What about exchanging the banner? I suggest this pic of the main station. The current banner has low pic quality IMO. Danapit (talk) 09:23, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No contest. Change the banner. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:31, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

merging State and city
Suggestions for merging Bremen (state) into single article with the city. --Traveler100 (talk) 11:20, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Bremen becomes large City with single district of Bremerhaven.
 * 2) Additional districts of North, South, West, East and Middle as well as Bremerhaven
 * 3) Keep as Bremen (state) with two cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven
 * I am in favor of either option one or option two. However I doubt that we get enough content for all the Bremen districts in the case of option two... Hobbitschuster (talk) 11:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Option 1, por favor. Bremerhaven should be linked directly where applicable (e.g. from destinations in Lower Saxony which are close (Go Next, Get In). PrinceGloria (talk) 13:06, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Is there a precedent for a city with just two districts? Hobbitschuster (talk) 16:41, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Travemuende got its own article because it had a fanbase dedicated to do it, it grew to be even more wholesome than the article on Luebeck. There was no need to "districtify" Luebeck, we just linked to Travemuende and back explaining their relation appropriately. There is no need to treat this as districtification, just a way to sort out the breadcrumb trail without using the empty shell article as we do now. PrinceGloria (talk) 22:20, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * But this is a different case as they are both in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. We do not follow administrative structures below state level if it make sense to separate the destinations for the traveller.--Traveler100 (talk) 04:55, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Because putting Bremerhaven under Lower Saxony would be confusing, I would just put it under Bremen and be done with that. The number of people who would actually take note is minimal, but those who would would not be confused as to whether Bremerhaven is a part of Bremen or not. The rest is about linking from particular articles - if we tell somebody they can go to Bremerhaven from somewhere, or that something is in Bremerhaven we do not have to explain how it is a part of the state of Bremen but not the city of Bremen and somewhere else than the city of Bremen but not that far away. We also do not need to districtify Bremen. We just need to do away with Bremen (state) and sort out the breadcrumbs. Can we do it now? PrinceGloria (talk) 05:35, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
 * done. You may want to check though everything is set correctly. --Traveler100 (talk) 06:11, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Huge city and district stuff
Maybe it would be better to replace the huge city hatnote with the following:

"This article is about the city of Bremen. If you were looking for the city of Bremerhaven, that is part of the state but not the city of Bremen, click here"

We could than further mention Bremerhaven in the flowing text and in the understand section. Hobbitschuster (talk) 19:43, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Tram lines
Can we make the tram lines show up in the dynamic map? Hobbitschuster (talk) 20:01, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
