history

Surname

The name Schwachhausen is not clearly understood. It could have been derived from the Schwachhausen-based farmer Sivico or from the Low German word sweeg , which means moist.

Middle Ages until 1803

Historically, the area of ​​today's Schwachhausen district consists of five parts, the village of Schwachhausen, the Riensberg estate district , the Pagenthorner Feldmark, the Barkhof and part of the cattle pasture.

The Bürgerweide was mentioned as early as 1070 by Adam von Bremen , in his portrayal of Countess Emma von Lesum , who gave this pasture to the citizens of Bremen in 1032. In the Bremen pasture letter of 1159, in which Archbishop Hartwig I confirmed the ownership of the Bürgerweide, the area of ​​the village of Schwachhausen was given as the eastern border instead of a border line. At that time it was a rural marshland village without a town center or village church. In 1212/13 the Stedinger destroyed the Riensberg estate.

The border between the imperial town of Pagenthorner Feldmark and the archbishopric , from 1648 Swedish and from 1719 Hanoverian Schwachhausen, followed between today's Kirchbachstrasse and the Bürgerpark (today mostly Bürgerpark ) about a line from Kurfürstenallee , Waldorf School, Carl-Schurz-Strasse and the westernmost part the park avenue. The Barkhof belonged as an exclave to the ore monastery and finally to Hanover. Riensberg, in turn, between Friedhofstrasse, Schwachhauser Heerstrasse and Kleiner Wümme, belonged to the Free Imperial City of Bremen like the Hollerland bordering to the north .

Loft 1803

In the 18th century, the Schwachhausen houses stood in loose succession along the Gete and the path from Herdentor to Horn (today part of Schwachhauser Heerstraße) between Kirchbachstraße and Friedhofstraße, and a group also on the Gete between Kirchbachstraße and today's Orleansstrasse. The village was on the border of today's districts of Riensberg and Radio Bremen. The only house in this village development is the former miller's house, Schwachhauser Heerstraße 253.

From 1803

By the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803 Schwachhausen was attached to the Bremen rural area. It had 206 inhabitants. Bremen merchants built their country houses and villas in Schwachhausen. The agricultural farms were displaced. Garden bars and dance salons emerged.

In 1849 Pagenthorn (apart from Feldmark also Ostertor-, Steintor- and Rembertivorstadt) and Bürgerweide were incorporated into the city of Bremen. In 1865 the Second German Federal Shooting took place on the Bürgerweide. After that, large parts of the Bürgerweide were converted into the Bürgerpark as a general recreational area. The urban forest behind it was also reforested.
In 1875 the Riensberg cemetery was laid out. Bremen's first horse-drawn tram has run from Herdentor to Schwachhausen since 1876 . The first electric tram went to Schwachhausen in 1892. From September 1910 to December 1911 Schwachhausen was also connected to Bremen city center by the Parkbahn (a trolleybus operation).

The St. Joseph Catholic Hospital was built in 1878-1880.

The Schwachhauser Ring was laid out in the 19th century as part of the ring road ( Schröderring after Alexander Schröder ), which was generously designed around the Bremen city center with Kirchbachstraße, Utbremer Ring and Osterfeuerberger Ring . It is one of the few avenues where the separation of the paved path for the winter - today street - and the sandy summer path for the carriages can still be seen.

The Kuhgraben was filled in from the Dobben to the Kleine Wümme in 1889-90 and the park avenue was laid out for subsequent residential development.

The village of Schwachhausen was incorporated into the city of Bremen in 1902.
