history

The modest, single-storey, gable-free, clinkered residential and commercial building with a gable roof was built around 1780 as a half-timbered house for the master baker, church lawyer and mayor Berend Harbers (1748–1811). In 1798 (inscription) it was given a clinker facade during the classicism era . In 1819 the master baker Johann Friedrich Schnatmeyer (1795–1830) from Herford married in here and took over the bakery. His younger brother Johann August Schnatmeyer (1805–1884) took over the business in 1848 and expanded it. The bakery supplied ocean-going vessels with hard bread and rusks , also known as Peerfööt (horse's foot) because of their shape. The building that housed the ship's bread and biscuit factory's shop until 1969 is still owned by the family today.

What has been preserved in this old Vegesack house is the design, the room structure around the former hall and some paintings on the original doors from around 1800. A simple side extension with the actual bakery has been demolished. The gable wall made of red clinker was stripped of its white paint around 1980 during extensive renovation work; other original components removed.

The Vegesack area had 1,379 inhabitants in 1812, a little later than when the house was built. Only the harbor basin and the Havenhaus were in Bremen at the time of construction. In 1803 the Neu-Vegesack area with the upper Weserstraße came back to Bremen from the Electorate of Hanover after 63 years .

Today (2020) the building is used as a residential building.
