*************

Although not well known in the rest of Germany, Wilhelm Kaisen is held in high regard in Bremen and Bremerhaven. A number of things were named in his honor:

Wilhelm Kaisen High School in the Neustadt district

Wilhelm Kaisen, a rescue cruiser of the Maritime Search and Rescue Service (in service from 1978 to 2012)

Wilhelm Kaisen Bridge, the great Weser bridge in the center of the city

A container terminal in Bremerhaven (since 1971)

There are also several streets and squares in both cities named after Kaisen and his wife. Two statues and a bust of him can be found in Bremen.
