Basic information
About 60,000 lights ensure public safety and order in the city of Bremen. These include lights used solely for street lighting, as well as lights used to illuminate historic buildings in the city center. For example, the City Hall facade, the Leibfrauenkirche, the Cathedral, and other landmarks are now illuminated in a whole new light.
To keep energy consumption and maintenance costs as low as possible while ensuring optimal lighting, all existing lights are being replaced with energy-efficient LED lights. About one-third of the existing lights have already been converted. Another approximately 19,000 lights will follow starting in January 2022.
Our service dedicated to lighting for you: Despite regular maintenance of street lighting, it’s not always possible to prevent individual lights from malfunctioning. Please help ensure that these lights “come back on” by reporting any malfunctions.
