The Ziegenmarkt is a small square in Bremen in the Ostliche Vorstadt district in the Steintor district, colloquially in the so-called quarter .
The streets on the square were named as Vor dem Steintor after the earlier Steintor on Dobben ( Steintorsteinweg until 1870), Römerstraße from 1868 after the Romans , Wielandstraße from 1868 after the poet Christoph Martin Wieland , Friesenstraße from 1863 after the tribe of the Frisians and Helenenstraße street used for prostitution since the 19th century , named in 1874 after the widow Helene Engelke, who owned a piece of land here.
history
In 1704 the Heerstraße running here was paved. After that, many houses were built on the street east of the stone gate. It was first called outside Steintor , in 1855 Steintorssteinstraße and since 1870 before the Steintor . The lifting of the gate lock to Bremen's old town and the legal equality of the suburbs with the city citizens in the middle of the 19th century made moving to the suburbs more attractive. Around 1863 to 1868, the other streets on the square were built and a street triangle formed the square. Small markets took place here, including the goat trade, which gave the square its name. During the Second World War , the eastern suburb was one of the parts of the city that was only slightly destroyed by bombing. Small markets still take place in the square.
