    The Braker Telegraph is the city's landmark. The brick building, built in 1846, was built as an optical telegraph station to receive and transmit ship messages between Bremerhaven and Bremen.

    Today the Telegraph is home to part of the “Oldenburg Lower Weser Maritime Museum”. The telegraph tower contains all sorts of exhibits such as ship models, ship portraits and nautical instruments. Seafaring folk art can also be seen here. These include paintings, ship models under glass and in bottles, as well as carvings and rope works. (Source: brake-touristinfo.de/schiffahrtsmuseum/)
