history

First owner Schultze

The lawyer Dr. Jacob Friedrich Schultz (1769-1827) laid out a park here around 1800, the first in Bremen to be built in the style of an English landscape garden . After Schultz's death, the estate changed hands several times.

Linnaeus Obelisk

Around 1800 the first Linnaeus obelisk was erected in the garden to commemorate the naturalists Carl von Linné , Albrecht Wilhelm Roth , Albrecht von Haller and Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin . The obelisk was destroyed in World War II and replaced with material from an abandoned grave. It's a little smaller than the original monument.

Höpken acquires the estate

The merchant and shipowner Johann Höpken and his brother Georg bought the estate in Oberneuland on December 19, 1859. They called it Höpkensruh . Höpkensruh was further expanded as a park through Höpkens care and additional plantings. In 1873 he bequeathed Höpkensruh to the city of Bremen, on condition that he set up an inn here. Two of his siblings were granted lifelong usage rights; In 1892 Eduard Höpken renounced his further rights of use.

Restaurant until 1944 and since 1964

A restaurant was set up in the manor house, which was leased in 1893 to the Oberneulander innkeeper of the station restaurant, Carl Bartels. In 1897 the summer inn burned down. According to plans by Heinrich Flügel , a new building was built, leased to the Kaiserbrauerei Beck & Co , which employed various sub-tenants (Ebert 1899-1919, Reinecke 1919-1942, Struckmann since 1942). Military barracks were built in the park and remained there until 1958 after the war. In 1944 the building was largely destroyed. The farm building was renovated again and operated by Struckmann as an inn.

An association of the Friends of Höpkensruh founded in 1958 initiated the construction of a new restaurant north of the old house in 1964.
