Our Branch Brake
This Is Us in Brake
We folks from Brake do love the charm of our small town right on the Lower Weser River. Here, we refuel peace and strength in order to make our seaport a success story. Our Motto: It's not the big ones that beat the small ones, but the fast ones the slow ones. Not only does this apply to our port, but also to us.
With some 100 employees and about 10 apprentices, we work in the various departments, such as the Technical & Engineering, Technical Services, Port Office, Purchasing, Real Estate, Commercial Affairs and Human Resources & Administration Departments. There are the young and young at heart, thought leaders and cross-thinkers, "old" hands with experience and knowledge-hungry novices, skilled in crafts and stylish at the office.
We’re all sitting - quite literally - in the same boat. We prove this, for example, with our successful and diverse cutter rowing team. In 2019 we celebrated first place in the company competition during the Braker Inland Harbor Festival and after a long break in training due to the Corona pandemic, we repeated first place in the leisure team competition in 2023. Speaking of celebrating: During the annual summer festival we like to enjoy a nice summer evening, get to know each other (even better), dance and chat… on the other hand, we love to enjoy our Christmas parties in a cozy round within the individual departments.
In the immediate vicinity of the Interior Port and not far from the Brake Railway Station is the Harbor House, where many of us work. So here we can get to work comfortably by train, but also by bicycle or car. Opposite the Harbor House are our workshops and the training workshop. It offers our apprentices good conditions for learning the profession of electronic and industrial technician. And we’re not running out of space anytime soon, just the contrary. In total, there is enough room for up to 28 apprentices and interns. The workshop houses several workbenches, two laboratories, an instructor's office and a classroom with modern presentation technology. Our building yard and our port headquarters - where our navigators on duty, our port attendants and our port railway dispatchers control all traffic matters of the port - are located directly in the port area.Our building yard and our port headquarters - where our navigators on duty, our port attendants and our port railway dispatchers control all traffic matters of the port - are located directly in the port area. And everything is in close proximity to the pier facilities along the River Weser. Anyone who works here is smack-dab in the port operation and may enjoy the sunrise over the Weser at one time or another. We spend our lunch breaks as a team or quite independently: Take a deep breath along the inner harbor and then enjoy a fish bun, take a walk into the pedestrian-friendly city center, or relax in the shade of our port’s own garden.

Our Brake
Brake is located directly on the Lower Weser River and, as a district town, located in the heart of the Wesermarsch. Our port is located 26 kilometers upstream on the deep waters of the Weser estuary that are navigable by ocean-going vessels. The maritime flair can be felt throughout almost the entire city. The population is very connected to the port. Almost everyone knows someone who works or has worked in the port. That is how it should remain and we are working to preserve this with great ambition.
