    The Balge or Great Balge (formerly also called Balje)[1] was a short, right side arm of the Weser that ran in the area of today's Bremen old town. In the early Middle Ages it served as the city's first port and is therefore of great importance for the emergence and development of Bremen. Gradually the bed of the bellows narrowed until it was canalized in 1608 and finally completely filled up in 1838. ( de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balge_(Arm_der_Weser) )

      Docking a boat directly at the market square – what sounds like a utopian dream today was completely normal in the Middle Ages: the Balge ran right through the old town. Although it has disappeared from the cityscape today, it has nevertheless left its mark.
