In 1875 Findorff had 2500 inhabitants. In 1904 the road was partially laid out and intensively built here. In World War II, many houses were destroyed here. The street is characterized by the post-war buildings. In 2011 a major road renovation took place. Several vacant lots were then closed.

The autumn street festival in Findorff is held on Hemmstrasse and Admiralstrasse.

traffic

In 1913 the connection to the Bremen tram network was established with line 9 from Hemmstraße via Admiralstraße to the Findorfftunnel - main station and to Sankt-Jürgen-Straße. A second connection was established in 1927 when the route to the Bürgerpark was extended through Eickedorfer Straße to Hemmstraße. Both lines were connected to a ring with lines 5 and 6 (at times 6A). The last tram in Findorff ran in 1964 (line 5) and 1967 (line 6).
