timeline
"Ut-Bremen" - outside of Bremen - was the name of the old Utbremer Feldmark , which was directly in front of the Bremen city wall , in front of the western gates, the Stephanitor and the Doventor. Utbremen was first mentioned in 1072. The Stephanitorsteinweg and the Doventorstraße are the memories of these connections between the Utbremen district and Bremen. The Utbremer Straße led over the old Panzenberg to the village of Walle.
In 1848 the Feldmark Utbremen was incorporated. Utbremen - at that time also known as Doventorvorstadt - developed. The then established railway lines Weserbahn (1855) to Weserbahnhof (1857/59) and to Geestemünde (1862) strengthened the settlements in Utbremen. Hansestrasse and Haferkamp were built, with many other streets in between with their development from the so-called Wilhelminian era after 1870/71. There were still farms in between and a mill on Haferkamp, which was in operation until 1914 and whose hull was still standing in the 1930s. In 1875 a primary school was built on Nordstrasse, which was permanently destroyed in 1944. In 1878, the neo-Gothic Protestant Wilhadikirche on Nordstrasse, destroyed in 1944, was inaugurated as a branch church of the Stephanikirchgemeinde. Only a memorial stone reminds of the location.
When Bremen joined the German Customs Union in 1888 , the free ports developed as an external customs area , and Utbremen was intensively expanded. Up until the 1920s, a structurally closed area was created, consisting of two to four-story residential and commercial buildings. In 1928 the Volkshaus on Nordstrasse was built by the trade unions . In 1933 a 90 meter high wooden transmission tower was built, which was later destroyed by lightning and replaced by a steel tower.
On 18./19. August 1944, Utbremen was almost completely destroyed by an air raid during World War II.
After the war, the housing shortage in Utbremen was very great. The population lived in emergency shelters or in the neighboring parcel areas, in the so-called "quay houses", named after Mayor Wilhelm Kaisen , who granted the bombed out the right to live in the allotment garden areas. Reconstruction began in the early 1950s through several housing associations, u. a. by GEWOBA , which had already built here in the 1920s. The apartment blocks - relatively simple from a modern point of view, but bright and green - alleviated the acute housing shortage.

Steffensweg
location and size
The Steffensweg district - predominantly a densely built-up residential area - is bounded to the east by the Waller Grün green corridor and the Westend district, to the north by Bremerhavener- and Bremervörder Strasse and the Walle district, to the west by Nordstrasse (Hafenrandstrasse), the Überseetor and the Überseestadt district south through Hansator / Hansestraße and the district of Utbremen. In the area between Schulze-Delitzsch-Straße, Steffensweg, Hansestraße and Nordstraße there is a small industrial area with mostly small craft businesses and a supermarket.
Area: 0.38 km², 4,360 inhabitants
Waller Wied
The district called Waller Wied or Heimatviertel is to be regarded as geographically independent within the Steffensweg district. This quarter with a triangular base is separated from the rest of the Walle district by a main road, Nordstrasse, bordered to the west by the port railway and opens to the south to the industrial area of the ports . “Wedged between the north road and the harbor fence” it is now surrounded by noise barriers.
With the opening of the free port in 1888 and the construction of the port operations and the jute factory, this district developed very rapidly. The Bremen architect Eduard Gildemeister designed the first houses for this quarter right next to the jute in 1889 . The migrant working-class families - many from the east - settled in the new workers' houses. The district was destroyed in a bomb attack in 1944. Although the city planners wanted the area west of Nordstrasse to be exclusively a port area, the residents succeeded in building houses there again from 1950 with the approval of the building authorities.

Before Walle became an independent parish, it was part of the St. Stephani church. The Kirchstraße was therefore the Steffensweg and the district was later given the same name. See the History section for more information .

Area: 0.62 km², 6,454 inhabitants
timeline
At the western end , with the construction of the free port after 1888, the new district of Westend developed. The working class families were settled near the jute factory, which started operations after 1888. In the so-called general quarter, however, lived the middle-class officials and employees. By 1952, the ECA settlement was built on Arndtstrasse by GEWOBA according to plans by Hebebrand , Schlempp and Marschall (Frankfurt / M.) With 250 small apartments in rows of terraced houses and three-storey arcade houses.

Area: 0.67 km², 5,057 inhabitants
timeline
The Osterfeuerberg was a dune hill on the right bank of the Weser. In 1860 this hill was mined to cover the sand requirement for the neighboring railway area. A dirt road - today's Osterfeuerbergstraße - served as a connection to Burg , before the Chaussee von Utbremen through the village of Walle took over this task in 1821. The Galgenberg served as a place of execution for Bremen until 1811 and many years later the bones of the executed were found. A powder magazine was then built at this point, which was relocated to Grambke in 1879 , when the residential development in Osterfeuerberg increased. Around 1900 a school was built on the Pulverberg.
As early as 1862 the railway line from Bremen to Geestemünde separated Osterfeuerberg from the other Waller districts. When the railway was built in 1914 at a higher elevation, underpasses were placed at most of the level crossings, but some were omitted. See the History section for more information .

Überseestadt
Area: 3.89 km², 1,337 inhabitants
Due to the changed use of the overseas port area, the administrative districts of the city of Bremen were reorganized by the local law of March 24, 2009 (BremGBl p. 93). As a result, the former Handelshäfen district was spun off from the Häfen district and incorporated into the Walle district as the Überseestadt district.
In the Überseestadt district there is still a commercially used port basin, consisting of the grain port and the timber and factory port. Mainly grain, animal feed, flour and forest products are handled here. Container handling also takes place to a lesser extent. As the name “ Fabrikenhafen” suggests, the port residents are predominantly processing companies.
The Überseestadt urban development concept is being implemented on the abandoned and filled-in port basin of the former Überseehafen and around the Europahafen . Among other things, according to the concept, the Europahafen is to be converted into a yacht harbor with residential buildings on the quay. In the meantime, the Überseestadt is home to the wholesale market as well as the Bremen University of the Arts , the Harbor Museum and the Bremen Center for Building Culture in the former Speicher XI .
Politics, administration
Advisory Board
The Walle Advisory Board meets regularly and usually publicly in the local office or in other institutions such as B. Schools. The advisory board is composed of the representatives of the political parties or individual candidates elected at the district level. The advisory board elections take place every four years, at the same time as the elections for the Bremen citizenship . The advisory board discusses all issues 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 townspeople. He forms specialist committees for his work. The advisory board has its own budget for district-related measures.
Local office
The local office has been a local administrative authority since 1946. In 1979 the local office West (Waller Heerstr. 99) was set up for the advisory councils Gröpelingen, Walle and Findorff. It supports the advisory board in its political work. It is intended to 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.
Ulrike Pala has been the local office manager since May 2013.
history
middle Ages
The village of Walle was first mentioned in 1139 and in 1179 the “Hof zu Walle” was named. The gentlemen at Walle were archbishop servants and Bremen councilors and bailiffs. Engelbert von Walle was mentioned as a knight around 1200 and then the violent Alard von Walle in 1244 . When this eponymous family died out around 1500, the estate often changed hands. In the meantime other farmers had settled around the estate. From 1524 there was therefore the own parish of Walle. In 1547, during the Schmalkaldic War, the imperial field captain Jobst von Cruningen billeted himself on the estate with his 4000 Danish mercenaries, who were driven out by the Bremen citizens' companies .
In 1635 - during the Thirty Years' War - the Protestant knight Christoph Ludwig Raschen , Brandenburg lieutenant colonel and Swedish diplomat, leased the estate with the Walle court. In 1641 the knight was kidnapped by the imperial family and only returned sick years later and died soon afterwards. In 1658 the church tower of the former Michaeliskapelle was built over the grave vault of the knight Raschen.
From 1700 to 1900
From 1658 the Waller Church was built in the Renaissance style . The original nave was destroyed in World War II and replaced from 1952 to 1956 by a new building based on plans by Julius Schulte-Frohlinde , the damaged baroque tower from 1726 was preserved.
The medieval gallows in the south / eastern Walle was demolished in 1811. In 1812 the first census took place in Walle , according to which 493 inhabitants lived there. In 1821 the Waller Chaussee from Utbremen to Burg was built against the resistance of the farmers . The municipal powder store was built on the former Galgenberg in 1828. In 1833 the Achelis family bought the Walle estate and the adjacent land and created a park on it , today's Waller Park .
In 1848 the field mark Utbremen was incorporated into the city of Bremen . The Bremen – Geestemünde railway line , which ran through Walle, was opened in 1862. The Waller Friedhof opened in 1875 . Up to this point in time, Walle was still very village-like with its farmer's cottages and Kötner houses . Behind the Waller Gut, the village cemetery was supplemented by a municipal cemetery. New planned streets were created, first in Utbremen and then in the northern parts of the town (Reuter-, Elisabeth-, Dietrich-, Burchardstraße).
In 1885 parts (28 hectares) of the rural community of Walle and in 1902 the other areas were incorporated. In 1896 the Elisabeth School was established in Utbremen.
In 1888, after the opening of the free port, the large jute spinning and weaving mill in Bremen was built on Nordstrasse, which by 1895 already employed over 2000 workers, many of whom lived in Walle. Catholic families from Poland , Bohemia , Silesia and Galicia moved here during this time. That is why the neo-Romanesque St. Mary's Church was built here in 1898 as the second Catholic church in Bremen on the Steffensweg / corner of St. Magnus-Straße. From 1899 the tram ran to Walle-Bogenstraße.
From 1900 to 1945
From 1903 to 1905 an elementary school with 16 classes was built on the corner of Steffensweg and Bremerhavener Straße , which was damaged in the war but was preserved. In addition, the largest water tower in Europe at the time was built in 1905 with a capacity of 3,000 m³. Only a concrete base remained after the war. In 1913 there was a school massacre at the St. Marien School . In 1914, the Waller Bahnhof stop on the Bremen-Bremerhaven railway line opened .
The primary school in Schleswiger Strasse was converted into a reform school in 1920 and the second Waller experimental and reform school opened on Helgolander Strasse in 1924 . In 1928 the Waller Park was handed over as a public park, in the same year the Waller Seebad was opened and the Volkshaus on Nordstrasse was built by the unions . This house was occupied by SA men in April 1933 , and the sculptures by the sculptor Bernhard Hoetger on the building facade were destroyed by them. Inside, a mural by Rolf Wienbeck has artistically portrayed this theme since 1985.
In 1933 a 90 meter high wooden transmission tower was built in Utbremen, which was later destroyed by a lightning strike and replaced by a steel tower.
Horst Hackenbroich, owner of a fish shop on Steffensweg 184, had to give up the business in 1940 as a so - called half - Jew . He survived his imprisonment from 1943 to 1945 in the Buchenwald concentration camp .
During the Second World War , Walle was largely destroyed in the heavy air raid on Bremen on the night of August 18-19, 1944.
After 1945
After the war, the population lived in emergency shelters or in the neighboring parcel areas.
The reconstruction began in 1950. Under the name Western suburbs emerged from 1953 to 1955 in Utbremen, Steffensweg and West by the GEWOBA that Bremer Trust and the lap , designed by Max hems , Günther Hafemann , Wilhelm Wortmann , Bernhard Wessel , Werner Hebebrand , Walter Schlempp and Günther Marschall created a larger, "loosened" housing estate. The Waller and Utbremer Grün run through the entire area. 1954 was created on Steffensweg in place of the bombed cath. Marienkirche a new church with a parish hall.
In 1955, the first high-rise in Bremen was built on Schifferstrasse in Utbremen . In 1960 the population in Walle was 47,750. The landfill on Autobahn 27 began operations in 1969. In 1975/76 the tallest building in the district was built, the Almatastrasse high-rise with a height of 69 m. In 1986 the telecommunications tower in Bremen (also called "Waller Spargel") was completed. In 1991 the landfill was expanded to its current size.
The district achieved fame in the 1990s through the German and international title wins of the women's handball team of TuS Walle Bremen , which had the district in the club name and had its club headquarters in Hohweg.
The Paradice ice rink opened in 1998 and the Walle-Center shopping center in 1999 . A redevelopment area has been located on Waller Heerstrasse since 2002 .
The working-class district of Walle was and is politically a stronghold of social democracy .

Economy and Transport

Walle is essentially a residential area with a center for shopping and services in the Westend district and along Utbremer Strasse / Waller Heerstrasse. The economy is shaped by the adjoining district of ports with the Überseestadt and its industrial and commercial operations in the port sector.
The Bayernstrasse industrial area, directly on the HB-Überseestadt motorway feeder between Bayernstrasse and Bernauer Strasse, covers around 60 hectares and houses businesses from the chemical industry, through the wholesale trade for packaging and tools to metal construction, the showman and freight forwarding trade, as well as gardening and Landscaping.
A smaller commercial area is located between Utbremer Straße and the railway tracks (Norderneystraße).
The Walle-Center on Waller Heerstraße was built in 2000 and has been home to shops, offices and, since 2007, the West Local Office.
