Bremen was first mentioned in 780. At the highest point of the dune, a wooden church was built around 789 as Bremen's first cathedral . The construction of today's cathedral followed in the 13th century. Around the seat of the Archbishop in the Archdiocese of Bremen grew the place that received market rights in 888 . The market took place on the bank of the Belge and above, probably on the upper surface of today's market square. Bremen spread out from here and from the Domburg . In the early Middle Ages, Bremen developed into a civitas Bremensis with city ​​rights as a Free Imperial City in 1186 . The street network with its squares was created between the Weser and the Bremen city wall from 1229, which initially only included the eastern old town. In the 13th century, Bremen expanded towards the west and now consisted of four parishes .

Most important places

The Bremen market square is with the Bremen town hall , the house of the Bremen citizenship and the house of the merchants, the Schütting , the most important (and oldest) square in Bremen.

At the cathedral and the churches of the four parishes, squares were created:

  • The Domshof west of the cathedral belonged partly to the cathedral district and from the 10th century to 1803 it belonged to the diocese of Bremen . It was able to develop as a square when in 1043 a wall (recognizable in the pavement) around the cathedral district was torn down. The market takes place on the square with many banks.
  • The Domsheide east of the cathedral was for a long time an insignificant heather area near the Domburg. It only developed into a converted square from the 17th century and is now one of the city's busiest hubs.
  • The square of our dear women church yard at the market church St. Veits , which from 1220 on is called Liebfrauenkirche , is u. a. today the flower market.
  • The Ansgarikirchhof at the St. Ansgarii Church was a small forecourt of the parish church from 1243, which was removed as a ruin around 1950. The commercial building from 1621 characterizes the square today as well as the Finke high-rise from 1956, the Lloydhof and the Bremer Carrée commercial building .
  • At the late Gothic St. Martini Church on the Weser there used to be only a small, walled forecourt.
  • On St. Stephani from around 1139 the Stephanikirchhof in today's Stephaniviertel . The Stephaniviertel was not included in the city fortifications until 1307 with the Stadtmure umme sunte Steffens . The place is of little importance.

On the Neustadt side , in the fortified area in 1623, there was a hesitant settlement with a right-angled street network with the market (square) in the Newestatt (today Lucie-Flechtmann-Platz ), the horse market (today Neuer Markt ) and the Green Camp . The fortifications were removed from 1805. The squares lost their importance due to their proximity to the old town.

Transport hubs:

  • With the first train stations (1847 and 1889 as well as 1913) the Bremen station square was created . In 2019 the last vacant lots due to the war were closed again. With the Bremen main train station , the transfer station for the Bremen tram and the bus station, it is the most important transport hub for public transport.
  • Due to the new train station, the new Kaiserstraße was built by 1875 , which led to the new Kaiserbrücke over the Weser . As part of this road breakthrough separating the old town, several streets had to give way and in 1902, for traffic reasons, the Patz Am Brill was expanded as a junction between Kaiserstraße (today Mayor-Smidt-Straße ), Hutfilterstraße and Am Neuen Weg / Faulenstraße .
  • The Domsheide mentioned above is the third traffic junction in public transport. All tram lines pass through one or two of the three squares.

In Vegesack , as the central medium-sized center in Bremen-Nord , there are pedestrian zones and shopping streets

In front of the head of the Alte Hafenstrasse there is a small square with restaurants and a view over the Weser and the ferry port, the Utkiek .

Hemelingen was an independent city until 1939 and was then incorporated into the city of Bremen. The former town hall from 1906 and the town hall square Hemelingen from 1902 bear witness to this.

In the Vahr , a young district, the Berliner Freiheit square from around 1960 with the Vahr Citizens' Center from 1977, the shopping center from 2003 and the Aalto high-rise from 1961 is the most important square.

The Wartburgplatz was laid out in Walle in 1874. It lost its importance after 1945, but was thoroughly renovated.
