New projects on the Überseeinsel
New projects on the Überseeinsel
The 41-hectare site is situated in one of the best parts of Bremen – it’s just a stone’s throw away from the town square, the Roland and the Town Musicians of Bremen. This key position is what makes the Überseeinsel so important for the city of Bremen and its residents.
The first pilot projects are now emerging in the area where Kellogg’s used to process 500 tons of corn into breakfast cereals every day. The investments in this section of the overall site are being made by Überseeinsel GmbH.
Check out the first pilot projects on the Überseeinsel!

In addition to various residential properties, the Überseeinsel will be shaped by its public spaces, cafés and bicycle-friendly environment. Some of the existing buildings will be preserved, such as the former silo and rice warehouse: The silo will be converted into a hotel, and the rice warehouse will be transformed into a market hall.
