Extension and Ansgarhaus

The extension of the health department in Bremen - eastern suburbs , district Fesenfeld , Horner Strasse 60-70 / corner of Humboldtstrasse , is one of the most important buildings in Bremen .

history

The three-storey extension of the Bremen Health Department was built in 1999 according to plans by the architect Iffi Wübben (Bremen) on the property of the Health Department behind the red-stone-faced, three-story Ansgarhaus from 1882 and the corner house from 1953. Around 2400 m² net floor space was accommodated in the building. The corridor facade to the courtyard of the single-level building consists entirely of reflective glass with individual raised ventilation windows. The simple perforated facade on the office side is achieved through irregular window widths for an invigorating design. Exposed concrete surfaces in the traffic areas are reminiscent of the architecture of the 1960s.

The architecture guide bremen writes: “The extension wing cleverly connects both optically and functionally the two existing components of the health department from different eras. The corridors were short-circuited with one another by bridge-like transitions, which improves internal traffic. "

The head of the health department H.-Jochen Zenker led u. a. From: “It was clear to all those involved from the start that there were not very simple framework conditions to be taken into account in this new building project… The visitor and person seeking advice enters a building that exudes a bright and friendly atmosphere, shows a modern architecture that invites reflection and inquiry makes it clear that inexpensive intelligent buildings can be built even in times of restrictive budgetary conditions.
