Ensemble Wiener Hof
The Wiener Hof ensemble in Bremen - Mitte , Ostertor district , Weberstrasse 7 to 23 is a listed building .
history
Around 1900 many small Bremen houses were built as row houses, which were often very uniform.
In 1903 the building contractors and architects Friedrich Wilhelm Rauschenberg and Andreas Heinrich Wilhelm Müller acquired a plot of land on Ostertorsteinweg . Here was the corner house of the merchant J. F. Kulenkamp and two other houses and on Weberstrasse - at that time still Hinterm Paulsberg - a warehouse and five single-storey houses of ordinary people (No. 30 to 34) from the 18th century.
From 1905 to 1907, a residential complex of ten apartment buildings for a total of 20 tenants was built on the vacant lot on Weberstrasse according to plans by the architects Rauschenberg and Müller. The architects planned the greatest possible use of the building site by moving the ensemble as a three-wing complex right up to the rear boundary of the property and arranging the undeveloped area required by building law on Weberstrasse. The side wings are symmetrically aligned with the central building. The two- and three-story residential buildings with a basement floor are differentiated, partly eaves and partly gable in the reform and art nouveau style from the turn of the century. The uniform design of the facades, the generous forecourt and the forged grating of the enclosure with floral ornamental forms in Art Nouveau characterize the ensemble and differentiate it from the simple terraced houses that were common in Bremen . The residential complex, away from the main roads, is one of the earliest apartment buildings in Bremen and in the Ostertorviertel, which was characterized by single-family homes.
Even today (2014) the houses are used for residential purposes and for service providers.
