history

At the beginning of the 19th century, only 50 houses were still mostly open-plan in front of the Ostertor; Craftsmen, laundresses and cigar makers lived here on the Punkendeich . In 1849 areas of the Ostertor district were incorporated and the citizens were given full citizenship of Bremen. In addition, the Osterdeich was built directly on the Weser and the old dykes were leveled and thus turned into building land. The social structure changed until 1880. On Osterdeich an upper class built villas and between Osterdeich and Ostertorsteinweg the building contractors built row houses as Bremen houses for a middle class. A cigar factory was located in Kreuzstrasse No. 33/35. In 1858 there were around 100 houses on Kreuzstrasse. The resident population was displaced between 1865 and 1875.

The predominantly two-storey, three-axis, plastered classicist row houses with saddle roofs, window frames and the decorative frieze are typical representatives of the Bremen house, which were built around 1860 and 1870 after the gate was lifted .

The house type Bremer Haus , which occurs frequently in the district , was built in Bremen between the mid-19th century and the 1930s. The basement as a basement , the deep building shape and the side entrance are characteristic.
The three-storey, brick-clad row of terraced houses at Kreuzstrasse 104 to 110 was only built in 1895 according to plans by Diedrich Tölken in the historicist style.

The simple, single-storey houses (No. 69, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88), which were built for craftsmen or cigar makers, are not Bremen houses. The single-storey house No. 53, standing in front of the building line and disrupting the context, did not come until around 1900.

The large Hinsch garage (43A – 51B) with 17 boxes at the time and the apartments on the upper floor was not built until 1927 to 1929 according to plans by the building contractors Carl Grabau and Emil Paust for the baker Carl Müller. The existing residential buildings were partially rebuilt or demolished. Between 1950 and 1953 the garage was expanded. A taxi company is based here today.
The ensemble also includes the corner houses Oberweser road , Reeder Road , Sielpfad 11/12, Sielwall 55, 57, 59 and Weber Road 58th

Today (2018) the houses are still used for residential purposes.
