Wilhelmshaven - Wilhelmshaven

A port and industrial city in Lower Saxony in northern Germany. Population 85,300 (2000). The city spreads over low marshes on the northwest coast of Jadebusen Bay, which connects directly to the North Sea, and has the only natural harbor on Germany's North Sea coast. In addition to the traditional shipbuilding industry, chemical and office equipment industries were established after World War II. It is also Germany's largest oil import port, and a pipeline runs to the Rhine-Ruhr industrial area. It became part of Prussia in 1853, prospered with the construction of a military port, and in 1956 it became a naval base for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) again. There are many government offices and research institutes related to the ocean. There are beaches and campgrounds nearby, and it attracts vacationers in the summer.

ドイツ北部、ニーダーザクセン州の港湾と工業の都市。人口8万5300(2000)。市街地は、北海に直結するヤーデブーゼン湾北西岸の低湿地に広がり、ドイツの北海沿岸唯一の天然の良港をもっている。従来からの造船に加えて、第二次世界大戦後、化学、事務機器などの工業が立地した。またドイツ最大の石油輸入港となり、ライン・ルール工業地帯にパイプラインが通じている。1853年にプロイセン領となり、軍港が築かれて繁栄し、1956年にふたたび北大西洋条約機構(NATO(ナトー))の海軍基地となった。海洋関係の官庁や研究所が多い。付近に海水浴場、キャンプ場が開け、夏には保養客が集まる。
