WESER (vā'zer), a river of Germany; formed by the junction of the Fulda and Werra at Münden; flows generally in a N. W. direction, and, after a very circuitous course, traverses the city of Bremen, and then falls by a wide mouth, much encumbered with sandbanks, into the German Ocean. Its length, including the Werra, is about 430 miles. The navigation for vessels of large size ceases about 10 miles below Bremen. See BREMEN.
