The Westhafen in Berlin-Moabit celebrated its 100th anniversary on Sunday.
At a height of 40 meters, professionals balanced on a 300-meter-long slackline stretched across the harbor basin. At a height of 30 meters, visitors could look down on the western harbor – from a crane. Down on the safe ground, several choirs, food trucks and other offerings, among other things, created a festive atmosphere.
Birthday greetings came from the Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU), among others. “The Westhafen has been supplying the metropolis of Berlin for a hundred years. More than ever, its innovative and intelligent logistics are helping to direct the flow of goods to the capital in a climate-friendly manner. The port will continue to make its contribution to relieving traffic in the city in a climate-friendly manner in the future.” , said Wegner according to the announcement on Sunday.
Last year, the Berlin port and warehouse company transported 4.5 million tons of goods and goods. These included consumer goods for domestic use, raw materials for energy, construction, industrial primary products and agricultural products.
The Westhafen, the largest transhipment point, covers an area of 410,000 square meters alone – that’s the equivalent of around 45 football pitches. The port area has its own locomotives, a container terminal, two docks and numerous storage silos.
