Field Office

Main entrance to the House of the Empire

The official seat of the Senator for Finance is the Haus des Reichs , a listed building on the Bremer Wallanlagen from the late 1920s. The building was built as a "Kontorhaus" from 1928 to 1931 by Nordwolle , which had relocated its headquarters from Delmenhorst to Bremen. With the construction of the house, the company directors, the brothers Georg Carl Lahusen , Heinrich Lahusen and Friedrich Lahusen , intended to erect a monument in the form of an administrative palace. The architects were the brothers Hermann Gildemeister and Eberhard Gildemeister . After the building was accepted in February 1931, Nordwolle went into bankruptcy before the inauguration in July of the same year . In 1934 the financial administration of the German Reich took over the building. In the post-war period , when the state of Bremen was founded, the Senator for Finance moved into the building.
