The record
A segment on the station square by the Übersee-Museum, where arriving passengers meet it first.
A segment stands on the Bahnhofsplatz near the Übersee-Museum, immediately outside the main station. Bremen holds three documented sites; this is the one most people see, because it is the first thing on the square when you come off a train.
The Berlin Wall Foundation also records an element in Bremen, about two hundred metres from this one, and names the square differently: its directory places it on the Platz der Deutschen Einheit, while the listing this record was written from puts it on the Bahnhofsplatz by the Übersee-Museum. Both are immediately outside the main station, and the two names may describe adjoining parts of the same forecourt. Nothing read here settles whether that is one element or two, so both descriptions are kept and neither is treated as a second site.
