WELCOME TO THE EAST ASIAN ASSOCIATION BREMEN!

"BUTEN UN BINNEN - WAGEN UN WINNEN"

Over the centuries, large numbers of citizens of Bremen have followed this motto of the Hanseatic merchants, which was carved above the round arch of Bremen’s chamber of commerce in 1899 and can be literally translated as
“outside and in – risk it and win”.

They have embarked on the adventurous journey to the Far East to discover new regions.
