From 1961 to 1965, the Weser-Kurier published a small book from Bremen Lexicon from A to Z, which had previously appeared in the newspaper for cutting.
The Bremer Lexikon was published by Hauschild Verlag in 1977 . A key to Bremen written by the director of the Focke Museum Werner Kloos . The third, improved edition from 1997 was edited by Reinhold Thiele. As a manageable manual, the one-volume work could not deal with all topics in sufficient breadth, so many keywords had to be missing.
