Ostliche Vorstadt is a district of Bremen and belongs to the Bremen district east.

Geography and districts

The eastern suburb is located to the east right next to the center of Bremen on the right bank of the Weser .

Neighboring districts are Schwachhausen in the north, Hemelingen with its district Hastedt in the east, Neustadt in the south beyond the Weser and Mitte in the west .

Viewed from the town hall, the eastern suburb began historically at the Ostertor or the ramparts . Until 1959 there was a larger district of Ostertor in what was then the “Ostertorvorstadt” district, which reached as far as St.-Jürgen-Straße. In 1959 this district was divided, the area east of the Dobben has since formed the district of Steintor. On this occasion, the "Ostertorvorstadt" was also renamed "Eastern suburb". In terms of the official territorial division, the "Eastern suburb" does not begin until Dobben and the area around Ostertorsteinweg, which was already mentioned in the 14th century as "vorstede vor dem Osterendore", is politically part of the Mitte district .

Stone gate

Area: 0.50 km², 7509 inhabitants

The Steintor is - together with the district Ostertor , which belongs to the Mitte district - colloquially known as the quarter . The central street Ostertorsteinweg / Vor dem Steintor is characterized by many small shops and pubs.

The historic stone gate , consisting of a drawbridge over the Dobben next to a watchtower (the stone horn or stone tower ) and a simple gate on the east, i.e. field side, is entered in the Merian engraving from 1641. Dobben was a ditch with a small wall on the west side and, together with the adjacent cow ditch, formed a Landwehr that extended from the Weser to the Wümme . It was connected to the Weser by a sluice at the transition from the Punkendeich to the Eisenradsdeich , hence the street name Sielwall . In some sources, Steintor is explained as a corruption of stone horn. However, as there were also brick towers at the other road crossings over the Bremen Landwehr, and the country road towards Verden was the first to receive stone paving in Bremen, so that it was mentioned as Steenstrate as early as 1359 (the Warturmer Heerstraße was only given stone paving in 1523, the Buntentorsteinweg in 1563 / 64), it is obvious that the stone gate was simply named after the pavement.

A reminder of the Dobben as a ditch offers the local office Östliche Vorstadt , Am Dobben 91. The building contractor Lüder Rutenberg , who initiated the development of the Östliche Vorstadt, was in a hurry to build his own villa. The ground had not yet settled in the freshly filled trench. So the whole house is on the list today.

The Fehrfeld street is a remnant of the old path from the Steintor to Schwachhausen.

Worth mentioning are the buildings or ensembles Villa Rutenberg from 1864, Villa Wolde from 1898 and the Fehrfeld group of houses from 1873.

Fesenfeld

Area: 0.44 km², 6904 inhabitants

The Centaurenbrunnen at the corner of Schwachhauser Heerstraße / Bismarckstraße around 1900

On the edge of the district of Fesenfeld is the large intersection of Bismarckstrasse  / Schwachhauser Heerstrasse  / Dobbenweg / Besides the Schleifmühle . At this intersection, on the site of the current Rahmann household goods store, was the house of Bremen Mayor Otto Gildemeister . In order to prevent the construction of a public lavatory, the Centaurenbrunnen was built here at his expense , which was relocated in 1958 to the Neustadtswallanlagen near Leibnizplatz for traffic reasons . The Centauren pharmacy refers to the fountain , built in 1928 in the style of North German brick expressionism based on a design by the architect Carl Heinrich Behrens-Nicolai .

Worth mentioning are the buildings Ensemble Mathildenstraße from 1871 and the AfA-Siedlung Bremen from 1930.

Peterswerder

Area: 1.58 km², 9962 inhabitants

This district is half the Paulines march , in the in a Weserbogen beyond the Easter dike around the Weserstadion are sports fields, allotments and green spaces. The other part consists of residential buildings around Hamburger Strasse . The side streets are, similar to the stone gate, narrow one-way streets, often with cobblestones.

"Peterswerder" was originally the name of two small islands ( Werder means 'river island') around the site of today's Weser Stadium , located in front of the right bank of the Weser, where it met the Eisenradsdeich west of the Pauliner Marsch. In front of its continuation to the east, the Kleiner Deich or Langendeich , which ran parallel to the paved country road, today by the Black Sea , there was still a small river with two ponds around 1800. This suggests that it was once an oxbow lake from the Weser, but at the time of the first exact mapping a Black Sea (see street name Am Schwarzen Meer ; "sea" here in the Low German and East Frisian meaning "inland lake") no longer existed . After the heavy flood of 1881, when the Weser water broke through to the Wümme for the last time , a new, stronger and straighter dike was built upstream of Bremen's old town, the Osterdeich . The building land obtained in this way was developed from the newly laid out Hamburger Strasse with a predominantly right-angled street network.

Also, here Werder Bremen at home. It used to be played on the "Stadtwerder", which is on the opposite side of the Weser. The association owes its name to this. Later they moved to the "Peterswerder".

The street name of the three piles refers to the old state border between the imperial town of Pagenthorn and the districts of Hastedts and the Pauliner Marsch belonging to the Duchy of Bremen in Hanover .

Worth mentioning are the high school buildings or ensembles on Hamburger Strasse from 1885, houses of the Eugen Kulenkamp Foundation from 1905, Hamburger Strasse residential complex from 1929 and the Stader Strasse 35 buildings (St. Petri orphanage, police, barracks, commercial building).

Hulsberg

Area: 0.79 km², 5308 inhabitants

The name of the district and the road that separates it from Peterswerder refers to a part of the Bremen dune on which the Steenstrate (Steinweg, Poststraße to Verden) also ran.

This is where the Bremen-Mitte Clinic is located (formerly: Central Hospital St.-Jürgen-Straße , colloquially: St.-Jürgen-Krankenhaus ), which makes up a large proportion of the district. Large parts of the clinic will be demolished in the coming years. Residential areas are being built on these plots, with extensive citizen participation as the new "Hulsberg Quarter".

Worth mentioning are the buildings or ensembles of the school on Stader Strasse from 1920, the school on Schaumburger Strasse from 1931, the "Hansa" telephone office from 1922, the old clinic building on the corner of Bismarckstrasse and St.-Jürgen-Strasse from 1851 and the Alt Hastedter Church from 1862 .

history

Middle Ages to 1800

Bremen 1641, on the right edge of the picture with the number 25 stone gate and stone tower
Eastern suburb in 1757, Heinbach jammed it a little on the edge of his city map

To secure Bremen, a defensive line was laid half a kilometer east of the city ​​wall , which stretched from the Weser to the Wümme . The southern part of this Landwehr consisting of a low wall and a ditch formed the Dobben . The stone gate with the stone tower formed the transition over the Dobben for the road to Verden. In any case, today's Ostertorsteinweg was mentioned as a "paved road called Stenstrade". The next crossing over the Landwehr was at the Pagenthorn (horse tower) at the northern end of Rembertistraße. After him, in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the entire area between the walling around the old town and the border to Schwachhausen and Hastedt, which only came to the land of the Free City of Bremen in 1803 , was called Pagenthorn .

The Paulskloster , founded around 1050 on a dune hill, had already formed a suburb in the 14th century. After the monastery was demolished in 1523 and the hill was demolished in 1628, the area initially remained undeveloped. No massive buildings were allowed to be erected near the Easter Gate. There were bleaches here . There were smaller settlements at Fedellisten and at Rembertispital . The Pagentorn Feldmark stretched south-east of the Dobben line, and around 1600 there were probably only four Meierhöfe . Later there was a concealing shop in the area of ​​today's Friesenstrasse .

The Pagentorn farmers cultivate their fields inside and outside the fortified Dobben. The residents of Pagentorn were able to acquire suburban rights, a civil right that did not fully correspond to the scope of civil rights in the old town. It was not until 1820 that Bremen had uniform citizenship.

Until the end of the 17th century, the cobblestone street ended at the Steintor. It was not until 1704 that the order was placed to pave the rest of Bremen's "Heerstraße". Since the paving, numerous houses have been built along the road east of the stone gate. It was initially called Auserm Steintor , was renamed Steintorssteinstrasse in 1855 and Vor dem Steintorr in 1870 .

1800 to 1900

A dike breach in 1827 caused the entire eastern suburb to be flooded. Small businesses and very little industry settled in the Eastern Suburbs. The lifting of the gate lock and the legal equality of the suburbanites with the city citizens in the middle of the 19th century made the move to the suburbs more attractive.

Narrower Bremen houses

The construction of the Osterdeich from 1881 made possible an increasing settlement of the former floodplains. Many row houses were built in the architectural styles of classicism , historicism and art nouveau for one or two families. They became known as the so-called Bremen houses . Since the construction of large apartment buildings and backyard settlements was forbidden in Bremen, this successful type of building developed here and in other parts of Bremen, in contrast to many other suburbs in Germany. Around 10,000 buildings had been built in the eastern suburb by 1875, and by 1900 there were almost no gaps in development. Most of the time, entire streets were built, such as Bessel, Herder, Kepler and Mathildenstrasse, as well as Fesenfeld Strasse with the Fesenfeld residential group .

The beginning of the construction of the St.-Jürgen-Straße Hospital from 1849 to 1851 was a decisive and important development in the district. Today the clinic is the largest employer in the district.

In 1862 the eastern suburb (with Ostertor) had 14,724 inhabitants. The monitored prostitution in Helenenstrasse was and still belongs to the district . The street (1927–1934 Frankenstraße) was built in 1873 and led to the Helene Engelken property .

From 1900

In 1905 the eastern suburb (with Ostertor) had 44,836 inhabitants. The construction of a sports field with a wooden grandstand from 1909 on Peterswerder was also to have a major impact on the development of the district. From 1925 to 1926 the Weserstadion was built as an ABTS arena . The Weser Stadium was used by the Nazis for large-scale rallies from 1932. The SV Werder Bremen was in 1930 the main tenant of the stadium. Today's huge streams of spectators through the district are not only viewed favorably. In 1928 the Ottilie Hoffmann House of the abstinence movement was opened on Osterdeich. Today the building houses the Café Ambiente .

During the Second World War , the eastern suburb was one of the parts of the city that was only slightly destroyed by bombing.

In 1951, parts of the eastern suburb - the Steintor , the Fesenfeld , the Peterswerder and the Hulsberg - formed the new district of the eastern suburb . The Ostertorviertel became part of the Mitte district . In 1960 this district had 44,568 inhabitants. Regardless of the administrative boundaries, from 1970 the Ostertor and Steintorviertel increasingly became a preferred residential area for people with an alternative lifestyle. The quarter - as it is called - developed into one of the entertainment and cultural centers of the city. The quarter was shaped by the mixture of living, working and culture as well as the settlement of new forms of small business and trade. However, problems with drug trafficking and street prostitution also increased.

The opening of the community center Weserterrassen took place 1975. 1984 the association took over Hal Över the operation of the Weser ferry between Sielwall and Café Sand . After 1990 the stands of the Weser Stadium were rebuilt and expanded several times; a shell construction was added in 2003.
