history

The term Bremen-Nord only emerged after 1939, after the previously independent Bremen city of Vegesack and the Prussian communities of Blumenthal, Lesum, Grohn, Schönebeck, Aumund and Farge (with Rekum) were incorporated into the city of Bremen.

Already in the Middle Ages , the region on both sides of the Lower Weser was the area of ​​interest of the city of Bremen. In addition to silting up the Weser, the neighbors threatened shipping traffic on the Weser, which is important for Bremen. Therefore, the aim of the Bremen Council was to expand its area of ​​influence as far as possible towards the mouth of the Weser, which failed on the left bank of the Weser ( Stedingen ).

Politics was more successful on the right bank of the Weser: In 1436 the city of Bremen bought the Blomendal moated castle in what is now the Blumenthal district . In 1469 the area was expanded again to include the Neuenkirchen court in a northerly direction. The official area thus extended from the mouth of the Lesum (now Vegesack) to Neuenkirchen at the end of the Geestrücken in Bremen Switzerland .

In the Peace of Westphalia at the end of the Thirty Years' War , Sweden won the Archbishopric of Bremen as the Duchy of Bremen in 1648 and immediately tried to gain sovereignty over the city of Bremen, whose imperial immediacy was not expressly mentioned in the peace treaty. In 1653 the Swedish governor general Hans Christoph von Königsmarck occupied Blumenthal, Vegesack and Neuenkirchen, but after the First Bremen-Swedish War Bremen was allowed to keep these possessions. A little later, however, the Second Bremen-Swedish War broke out , in which Field Marshal Wrangel besieged the Hanseatic city for months. In the subsequent Peace of habenhausen , Bremen had to cede government power over Vegesack, Blumenthal and Neuenkirchen to Sweden, but still retained the lower jurisdiction . In the Great Northern War , Denmark conquered the Duchy of Bremen and ceded it to its ally Kurhannover in 1715 in return for a compensation payment . At the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 Vegesack became Bremen again. After the German War in 1866 , Prussia annexed the Kingdom of Hanover and with it most of what is now Bremen-Nord.

Bremen shipbuilders such as Johann Lange and Hermann Friedrich Ulrichs extended their shipyards from Vegesack to neighboring riverside locations. In the 19th century, wealthy Bremen residents had villas and spacious gardens such as Knoops Park laid out on the hilly Prussian north bank of the Lesum . In 1883 merchants from Bremen founded the Bremen wool combing factory in Blumenthal .

Bremen-North and Bremen

Although Bremen-Nord belongs to Bremen, parts of the local population have retained a sense of independence due to their own history and the distance to the center of Bremen. When driving in the center of Bremen, it is still "we go to Bremen" (or, "we go to Bremen up " because of the way into the city center along the Weser upriver leads). The political parties such as the SPD or CDU also divide their party into Bremen and Bremen-Nord.

The distinction between Bremen-Nord and Bremen was noticeable earlier when setting tariffs for local public transport, as Bremen-Nord formed its own tariff zone for a long time due to the long journey lengths, with Bremen-Oslebshausen station and the nearby Ritterhuder Heerstraße bus stop as the only inner-city number limit. However , this tariff limit did not apply to trips that were carried out exclusively with trams and / or city buses of the BSAG , and since summer 2011 school season tickets have been valid in the entire city of Bremen at no extra charge. Since January 1, 2015, VBN has only had one price level for all of Bremen.
