The Bismarck Street is a historical street in west-east direction in Bremen in the district of Eastern suburb . It leads from Am Dobben / Dobbenweg / Schwachhauser Heerstraße to Stresemannstraße .

It is divided into the sub-areas:

The cross streets were u. a. named as Mathildenstraße after Mathilde Rutenberg, wife of master builder Lüder Rutenberg , Fesenfeld after the Fesenfeld farm, Theresenstraße (first name), Sankt-Jürgen-Straße after the Sankt-Jürgen Gasthaus and Ramdohrstraße after Enno Ramdohr, a state councilor from Bremen ; otherwise see the link to the streets.

Bismarckstraße is the street with the seventh highest house number in Bremen (No. 444).

history

Surname

The first section of Bismarckstrasse was named after the first Chancellor of the German Empire Otto von Bismarck in 1872 . The extension of the street to Sankt-Jürgen-Strasse was called Goebenstrasse and was then renamed Bismarckstrasse in 1890. Since then, Goebenstrasse has been in Schwachhausen ( Hermann-Böse-Strasse to Parkallee )

development

At first there was a connection between Besselstrasse and Mathildenstrasse to Schwachhauser Chaussee , which was named Auf der Tafel . The road, which was then expanded and expanded until 1872, served to develop the eastern new development areas in the district of Fesenfeld , Steintor and Hulsberg , which later became the eastern suburb. First, the Bremen houses in Fesenfeld and the connecting roads towards the Steintorviertel were built . The Bremen-Mitte Clinic , then known as the St. Jürgen Hospital , expanded to Bismarckstrasse after 1900. In the 1920s, on the other side of the street (108–126), the AfA settlement Bremen was built with 230 apartments in the modern Bauhaus style ; an architecture that aroused criticism and protests from traditionalists.

From 1922 the mighty complex of the former telephone exchange "Hansa" dominated the area on Friedrich-Karl-Straße. To the east in the Hulsberg follows a densely green residential area with the school on Schaumburger Strasse from 1931 and a kindergarten as the focal points.

In the street square Bismarckstrasse, Bennigsenstrasse, Bei den Drei Pfätze and Stader Strasse, the Westphalian settlement was built between the First and Second World War , which consists of very small houses for people with low incomes. The name of the quarter was determined by the Westphalian street names. The settlement was hardly destroyed during the war, or it was rebuilt in the same form. Today this settlement is popularly known as "Little Mexico".

Only a few areas were destroyed in the air raids on Bremen in 1944.

At the corner of Schwachhauser Heerstraße and Bismarckstraße, the Centaur Fountain has stood since 1891 , which was set up in 1958 at Leibnizplatz in Bremen Neustadt due to the changed traffic planning .

traffic

The bus line 25 ( Weidedamm - Osterholz ) drives through the Bismarck street.

In 1936 tram line 10 was extended by the municipal hospitals through Bismarckstrasse to Friedrich-Karl-Strasse. This short section was not resumed after 1945.

With the expansion of Steubenstrasse at the end of 1957, motor vehicle traffic increased here too, so that in January 1958 a set of traffic lights was set up at the corner of St.-Jürgen-Strasse. The neighboring traffic lights on Graf-Moltke-Strasse and Friedrich-Karl-Strasse did not yet exist.

building

There are two- to five-story buildings on the street, most of which are residential buildings, and in the central areas commercial buildings and parts of the Bremen-Mitte Clinic with its new buildings from 2017.
