Area: 5.59 km², 2403 inhabitants
Rekum is Bremen's northernmost district. The Valentin submarine bunker is located here . The landscape of Rekum is characterized by the Rekumer Geest in the east, which slopes down relatively steeply to the marshland on the Weser. The street names Reeker Barg and Unterm Berg denote this structure. The settlement is based on the Geestrand in a north-south direction. The marshland south of the Valentin bunker is covered with bushes and trees. To the north there is agricultural grassland . Large areas on the Geest are used for arable farming. The so-called Farge oil handling facility is located on the Weser in the south of Rekum. It is connected to the Farge tank farm (see section Economy ) via pipelines .
timeline
Rekum was mentioned as early as the 12th century. It was the seat of a family of ministers. Archbishop Gebhard II had the Witteborg built here (near Rekum / near Farge) in 1220 on a hill on the Weser , which only existed for a few years. Around 1400 there was a mill at the Weser crossing.
Rekum belonged to the parish of Neuenkirchen, from 1604 to the parish of Blomendal. In 1956 the Evangelical Reformed Church was built in Rekum. Until 1980 the Rekum parish belonged to the common parish Neuenkirchen-Rekum, since then the ev.-ref. Parish in Rekum is an independent parish. It still belongs to the Evangelical Reformed Church based in Leer , making it the only Evangelical parish in Bremen that does not belong to the Bremen Evangelical Church (BEK).
In Rekum were 1943-1945 forced labor for the construction of the bunker Valentin and marine tank farm in the Schwaneweder and Neuenkirchener Heide in a Arbeitserziehungslager the Gestapo , the concentration camp Farge housed and POW camps.
Rekum was originally a municipality in the district of Blumenthal and was incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Farge on August 1, 1923 . Rekum and Farge have been separate districts of Blumenthal since 1957.
Farge
Area: 5.46 km², 2937 inhabitants
In addition to residential development, the district is characterized by infrastructure facilities (tank farm, Farge power plant , sewage treatment plant) as well as industry and commerce (see section Economy ).
timeline
Farge has been an important industrial location since the middle of the 19th century. The Witteburg stoneware factory was founded in 1853 . Therefore, in 1867, the Farger Consumverein was established , which existed until 1944. In 1877 a school was built on Rekumer Straße, which had six classes around 1925 (today elementary school). In 1902 the volunteer fire brigade was established, which in 1924 had merged to form the Farge-Rekum volunteer fire brigade and was re-established in 1929. From 1911 to 1931 (passenger traffic) and 1938 (goods traffic) Farge was a transfer station between the Bremen-Farge-Bremen -Vegesack railway ( Farge-Vegesacker railway ) and the Niederweserbahn , the small railway line to Wulsdorf . The WiFo tank farm was built between 1935 and 1943.
Farge belonged to the Blomenthal office and was then a municipality in the Blumenthal district , which opened up in the Osterholz district in 1932 . Rekum and Farge were merged in 1923. Both places have been separate districts of Blumenthal since 1957.
The Evangelical Reformed Church Rönnebeck-Farge was built in 1904/05 according to plans by the architects August Abbehusen and Otto Blendermann .

Politics, administration
Advisory Board
The Blumenthal Advisory Board meets publicly every second Monday of the month. The advisory board is made up of representatives directly elected at the district level. The advisory board elections take place every 4 years, at the same time as the elections for the citizens of Bremen. The advisory board discusses all matters of the district that are of public interest and makes decisions on this, which are passed on to the administration, the state government and the city citizens. Interested citizens can also submit oral applications. For its work, the advisory board forms specialist committees to which knowledgeable citizens can also belong.
Local office
The Blumenthal local office ( Landrat-Christians-Straße 99a) has been a local administrative authority since 1946. It supports the advisory board in its political work. It should participate in all local tasks that are of public interest. It is led by a local office manager proposed by the advisory board and confirmed by the Senate. The first head of office appointed by the US military government in 1945 was Wilhelm Ahrens (SPD). The current head of the local office has been Oliver Fröhlich since June 2020, succeeding Jörg-Peter Nowack.
coat of arms
The former municipality of Blumenthal had a coat of arms awarded by the Stade District Government of the Province of Hanover from the 1920s until it was incorporated into Bremen.
Blazon : “In red under a raised silver (white) shield head in a 15-point tip cut (comb bar), covered with five eight-spoke blue comb wheels; above a wavy blue-silver (white) shield base, a three-masted silver (white) cog with billowing sails, silver (white) flags on the mast and stern and silver (white) pennants on the front and main mast. "
The cog and the wave shield stand for traditional seafaring and the location of the community on the Lower Weser . The comb stands for the former wool combing . The Kammräder stand on the one hand for Blumenthal as an industrial location and on the other hand for the districts of Rekum , Farge , Rönnebeck , Lüssum-Bockhorn and Blumenthal itself.
story
Names
- Blumenthal means valley of flowers in the Auetal. It was called 1305 Blomendal , 1380 Blomendale , 1450 Blomendall and 1638 Blomenthall .
- Bockhorn was called Borchhorn in 1032 and Bochorne in 1302 . Borch can be interpreted as a castle. Horn (e) comes from the Low German term for tip or spur .
- Lüssum was 1492 Lusen then Lüszen and 1542 Lussen . The interpretation of the name from the documented name villa Liusci is not guaranteed.
- Rekum was called Reken (e) around 1300 and Reeken in 1405 .
Lüßum and House Blomendal
The oldest historical settlement in today's Blumenthal district was the village of Lüssum . The interpretation that according to an allegedly forged document from villa Liusci 832 Ludwig the Pious is said to have confirmed the fishing rights on the Weser is uncertain . The first reliable mention of Lüssen as Lussen took place in 1492.
The original settlement followed the Weser on the high Geestrücken. Shipbuilders, boatmen and fishermen settled on the Weser.
In the 13th century, the knights of Oumünde built the first Blomendal castle on the castle hill above the Au valley. 1305 was the first documentary mention of Blomendal , when the castle had to be demolished again due to the peace dictate of Bremen's Archbishop Giselbert and the knights. In 1354 the second house in Blomendal was built as a moated castle by the knights of Oumünde and Steding .
The saddle yard belonging to the first castle was mentioned as "Vorborch tho Blomendale" as early as 1304.
House Blomendal was the seat of the Prussian District Office from 1866 to 1932. During the Second World War it was used as a prisoner of war camp and then for refugee housing. From 1972 the Blumenthaler Heimatverein was housed in it.
In 1907, at the instigation of the community and the mayor Lüder Bömermann, Lüssum was connected to Blumenthal.
Bremen land ownership
The Bremer Council bought in 1436 for 1,400 Rhenish guilders by the Knights of Borch Castle Blomendal with the Bailiwick and the Court Blomendal, which then became an administrative office and served as a retirement home of the mayor of Bremen. In 1469, Bremen acquired the Neuenkirchen court bordering to the north and added it to the Blomendal office.
The reformation of the Blumenthal parish took place in 1522. Of the old village church, only the tower from 1604 has been preserved. Around 1600 House Blomendal became the seat of two bailiffs who exercised administration and jurisdiction.
Sweden, Denmark, France and Prussia
After the First Bremen-Swedish War , Blumenthal came to the newly created Duchy of Bremen in 1654 under Swedish state sovereignty. However, some judicial and administrative rights remained with Bremen.
In 1712, Blumenthal briefly came to Denmark. It was sold in 1715 as part of the Duchy of Bremen to the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , which was later referred to as the Electorate of Hanover. In 1741 Bremen lost the existing administrative rights over the Blumenthal office.
From 1806 to 1813 the region was under French rule. The Mairie Blumenthal also included Lobbendorf, Lüssum, Rönnebeck, Farge, Flethe, Hammersbeck and Rekum. From 1811 to 1814 the region was part of the canton of Vegesack in the French department of Bouches-du-Weser .
In 1814 the Electorate became the Kingdom of Hanover through the Congress of Vienna .
In 1821 the Blumenthal parish with the villages of Bockhorn, Farge, Fähr, Hammersbeck, Lüssum, Rönnebeck and Schwankenforth and the parish of Lesum with the villages of Aumund, Beckedorf, Hünertshagen, Lobbendorf and Löhnhorst belonged to the Blumenthal office .
In 1862 the village of Flethe was incorporated into Blumenthal.
In 1866 Prussia annexed the Kingdom of Hanover and thus also Blumenthal, which became the seat of a Prussian district. Membership in the German Customs Union benefited Blumenthal's economic development. The Bremer Woll-combing was established because of the favorable and direct delivery of raw wool 1884th In 1898 it had around 2,300 employees.
In 1878, 1890 and again in 1975 a volunteer fire brigade was founded with the fire brigades of Blumenthal, Lüssum, Neurönnebeck and Rönnebeck. From 1939 to 1951 there was a professional fire brigade.
In 1888 the place was connected to the railway network with the Bremen-Farge – Bremen-Vegesack railway.
The Bremer Vulkan shipyard was built in 1893 on the border between the Blumenthal district and Vegesack.
1900 to 1945
The power station was built in 1904 and a gas works was built in 1912.
Lüssum, Rönnebeck and Bockhorn were incorporated into the municipality of Blumenthal in 1907/08 and Neurönnebeck in 1923.
In 1908 the Blumenthal District Hospital was inaugurated, from which the Bremen-Nord Clinic emerged.
In 1910 the new town hall, today's local office building, was inaugurated.
The first bus route to Vegesack was set up in 1925. The Blumenthal sewerage system, the waterworks and the water tower were built from 1925 to 1927.
In 1932 the district of Blumenthal was merged with the district of Osterholz , so that Blumenthal lost its status as a district seat.
As a result of the Fourth Ordinance on the Rebuilding of the Reich on November 1, 1939, Blumenthal and Farge / Rekum changed citizenship from the Free State of Prussia in exchange for Bremerhaven, together with the rest of today's northern Bremen areas north of the Lesum (except for the city of Vegesack, which was already in Bremen) to the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen .
The Valentin submarine bunker was built in Rekum from 1943 to 1945 . Thousands of forced laborers, prisoners of war and inmates were used for this purpose. Subcamps of the Neuengamme concentration camp were set up in Neuenkirchen (known as the Farge concentration camp ) and on the Bahrsplate .
Development after 1945
After the end of the war, Blumenthal received the status of a local office area in the course of the rebuilding of the administration in the state of Bremen.
The Bremer Woll-Kämmerei (BWK) was a large company in the 1950s with up to 5,000 employees in Blumenthal. The nearby Mühlenstrasse developed into a very busy shopping street with many restaurants. After the BWK had converted and reduced its operations at the Blumenthal site in the 1980s and finally closed it in 2009, Mühlenstrasse also increasingly lost its special importance.
Passenger traffic on the railway line from Vegesack to Farge via Blumenthal was suspended for almost half a century in 1961.
From 1967 the grammar school and then the Blumenthal school center was built on Eggestedter Straße.
The shipyard crisis of 1975 led to short-time working and the first layoffs at the Bremer Vulkan shipyard . The bankruptcy of Bremer Vulkan in 1996/97 had a significant impact on the Blumenthal district.
With the Living in Neighborhoods (WiN) program in Lüssum, improvements have been made since 1999 as well as with the House of the Future in Bremen.
In 2002, construction of a shopping center began in the Müllerloch area .
In December 2007, passenger traffic on the Vegesack – Farge line was resumed under the management of the NordWestBahn . In December 2011, the line was included in the network of the Regional S-Bahn Bremen / Lower Saxony , which went into operation in December 2010 .
Population development
Around 1830 the population of Blumenthal increased considerably because shipbuilders and boatmen settled there to transport goods between Bremerhaven and Bremen.
With the settlement of the wool combing and other industrial establishments, there was a strong increase in population, mainly due to Polish immigrants from the Prussian eastern provinces.
After the Second World War, Blumenthal's population doubled in a short time, initially mainly due to the influx of displaced persons and refugees from eastern Germany , and later also of guest workers from southern Europe and Turkey. New housing estates, especially in Lüssum, were built to accommodate the new residents. Numerous jobs have been lost in the last quarter of a century, especially at the Bremer Vulkan shipyard, which is partly in Blumenthal and partly in neighboring Vegesack , but also at the Bremer Wollkammerei. In connection with this, the number of inhabitants also fell again. In addition, the development of the district and district of Blumenthal in terms of population:
