The Docker 2004

Donated by Helmut Werner (*26.3.48 +5.10.2009), CEO of Rhenus Midgard and citizen of Nordenham.

Inspired by the statement by Helmut Werner, "Nordenham was built on the backs of dock workers", the sculptor Anne Wagenfeld (Butjadingen *5.3.48 +24.4.2016) created a sculpture that puts the actual dock worker in the context of space and time places, in the development of man and nature, of generations and ages (heads, stairs, shells).
The dockworker looks at the natural deep-sea port, which made it possible to export Butjadinger cattle to England in the early days of steam navigation. The railway connection in 1875 allowed oil to be imported from America and grain from Russia. From 1890 to 1897, express steamers operated by the Norddeutscher Lloyd shipping company brought hundreds of thousands of emigrants from here to America. The port was later privatized and the newly settled industrial companies - fisheries, Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke, Zinkhütte and Friedrichswerft - built their own port facilities. Everyone benefited from the favorable location on the deep water of the Weser estuary. (You can find out more about this at the Museum Nordenham). (Source: mk-nordenham.de/beitraege, Helmut Klug).

You can sit down on the many new seats and benches nearby, let your eyes wander and enjoy the fresh sea breeze, just great.

Since 2004, this bronze sculpture "Hafenarbeiter" has stood on the Weser beach in Nordenham, with which the achievements of industrial and dockworkers are honored. Now it also has an information board, which was created/erected in 2022.
