01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Bremen—546,501, Europe/Berlin, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: city in the Bremen federated state, Germany.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Bremen is GeoNames ID 2944388. Its recorded administrative path is Bremen → Germany, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Bremen occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2026-04-13; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Bremen ranks 1,024 by recorded population. Inside the 15 selected Germany entries it ranks 11; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 95. Its 546,501 population value is 0.92 times the 593,085 median for the country cohort and 0.82 times the 664,046 regional median. Bremen sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Germany entries. Bremen's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Bremen's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Hamburg at 94.839 km with 1,973,896 recorded people; Hannover at 100.199 km with 515,140 recorded people; Dortmund at 196.059 km with 588,462 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 101.22 km. Compared with Hamburg, Bremen's recorded population is 0.28 times as large. Against Bremen, Hamburg follows Hamburg → Germany in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Germany cohort, uses the shared Europe/Berlin identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Bremen's. Against Bremen, Hannover follows Lower Saxony → Germany in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Germany cohort, uses the shared Europe/Berlin identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Bremen's. Against Bremen, Dortmund follows Regierungsbezirk Arnsberg → North Rhine-Westphalia → Germany in the source.

Its recorded population is above Bremen's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 678 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Bremen's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 2944388, the coordinate pair 53.0758 / 8.8072, country rank 11 of 15, and neighbor GeoNames 2911298 at 94.839 km bind Bremen to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Bremen's reference point is 53.0758° north and 8.8072° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Berlin is shared by 15 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Bremen's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Bremen's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bremen's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bremen, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
