The City Municipality of Bremen is a Hanseatic city in northwestern Germany.

City View on 1973 issue

A commercial and industrial city with a major port on the River Weser, Bremen is part of the Bremen/Oldenburg Metropolitan Region (2.4 million people). Bremen is the second most populous city in Northern Germany and tenth in Germany.

Bremen is some 60 km (37 mi) south from the Weser mouth on the North Sea.

With Bremerhaven right on the mouth the two comprise the state of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (official German name: Freie Hansestadt Bremen).

In Post WWII, Allied Occupation the city of Bremen and the immediate surrounding area was designated as an American enclave.

The establishment of the Enclave Bremen was based on an American/British agreement dated 20.1.1945. In the American enclave of Bremen, however, the postal regulations of the RPD Bremen and the British Zone were largely applied with only the American military government carrying out additional censorship measures.
