Weser River Live Cam

Geological Origins

The Weser River, stretching over 440 kilometers from its source at the confluence of the Fulda and Werra rivers to the North Sea, carves a vital artery through the heart of northern Germany. In Bremen, this freshwater lifeline shapes both the cityscape and its economic vitality. The river’s geology reveals layers of sandstone, marl, and limestone deposited during the Triassic period, later sculpted by glacial meltwaters in the last Ice Age. These ancient processes created the broad Weser valley, whose fertile floodplains have supported agriculture and settlement for millennia.
