I used an upgrade on this thinking it would be good to go. Similar info points have been accepted in the area. The description is nothing special, because I thought it was self-explanatory. Anything bad with the pictures, which I might have overseen?

You should not orientate on existing wayspots. In this case, its an eligeble nomination but not very unique. This could be the problem. I believe, this wont be the only kind of this information sign. Try it again if you want it to appear ingame.
How does this meet criteria? I'm not a person who belives all maps are eligible. What makes this map different from a map/directory of a shopping mall, which Niantic has stated wasn't eligible?
Seeing how the wayspots exist only since a few months, it is hard to argue not orientate along those. I do agree that this would not be a 5* instantly, but I see it like you as an eligible nomination and I would rate it at least 3* or 4*.
This would fall imo under the criteria of exploration. There are a few infopoints like these placed along the newly built city area. You can find them always at prominent landmarks, as this building in the background, the tallest of the area, or a parc entrance, or a very old and unique light house and so on. I wouldn't call this an official trail, but following these does make sure you do explore and see what can be seen. I would argue a map in a shopping mall does the same, it is a map in the end, but with commercial locations. These wayspots don't focus on the commercial aspect, but the community and exploring one of the surroudings.
How would you rate the wayspot and argue the amount of stars? Picture, title, location, safety I guess 5*?
If you put the same effort into your submission as in rejecting suggestions, this would have passed.
From an outsider's point of view, this looks like a mall map and frankly speaking the description is not self explanatory, it is bland. People who are not familiar with Bremen and that is the majority of the reviewers don't have a clue what you are talking about.....
So, I googled a little bit and found the following:
From my point of view there are two options:
1) make the Landmark-Tower the poi
or
2) if you really want to submit this map, then I would redo the description. Sth along the lines of:
Infopoint im neugeschaffenen Stadtviertel Ueberseestadt Bremen, dessen architektonisches Highlight der Landmark-Tower ist.
zusaetzliche Infos: der von mir gefundene Link oder etwas aehnliches
If you are bored by your own submission, you can only expect the same from your readers/reviewers.
Tried it again with a longer description, also another upgrade. Guess the upgrade people just like to deny things. I have noticed this quite a few times. Going to give it a last try but this time without upgrade. Apparently that works better and is even how fakes are created?
I know^^ reviewed it yesterday.
So, did you rate it better with the new description?
yes, it was all good in my eyes.
I even went ahead and took the advice from rude Hannes up there to submit the tall building instead of the info point. Guess what happened.
Doesn't meet the criteria and apparently there is not even a safe pedestrian access to it.
Something is fishy about this part of the city and I don't mean the distanceto water. I've seen even public playgrounds getting denied here. Not sure if some reviewers have a grudge against this place, but I wouldn't call it impossible anymore.
The description and extra information are pretty good. Sadly, such attractions are very frustrating.
Jetzt ist es okay deinen Unmut freien Lauf zu lassen! Davor war es eine offensichtlich schwache Nominierung. LG
Es waere auch eine Ueberlegung wert die Beschreibung auf Englisch zu verfassen. Ich nehme mal an, dass viele Niederlaender (oder/und Daenen?) einen signifikanten Teil der reviewer bei euch im Norden darstellen.
