Fort Wilhelm, also known as Fort William, was a fort built by the Kingdom of Hanover in 1834 at the mouth of the Weser River. It was intended to protect Bremerhaven's first harbor. It was abandoned in 1866 and demolished in 1874.
In the contract signed in 1827 for the sale of an 88.7 ha coastal strip on the right bank of the Weser to Bremen for the construction of a new harbor, the Kingdom of Hanover reserved military sovereignty over the area. When the first basin of the harbor – the Old Harbor – was completed in 1830, Hanover initiated the construction of a fort on a 3-acre site near the lock to the harbor at the mouth of the Geeste River. A coastal battery had already stood here during the time of the French.
