Apparently the passage to the harbor used to be here. There is a plaque on the pier about the founding of the city. Nice water view

About the history of the old piers:

The second entrance, so called today, is the oldest of the lock systems. Its lock chamber was designed as a wide turning basin, the entrances to which were much narrower than the chamber itself. It was planned from 1856 and completed by 1869. With its commissioning on December 23, 1870, the oldest part of the Wilhelmshaven harbor began to be used. It quickly became apparent that the lock gates were too narrow for the needs of the port. Therefore, soon after its completion, it was decided to build a new entrance, after which it was initially called the Old Entrance until it was renamed II. Entrance in 1909.[15] After the Second World War, the second entrance was blown up and sealed with a solid dam. [wikipedia]
