history

Surname

The street, first mentioned in 1365, was called Vulenstraße and describes the "vulen", that is, the poor or dirty condition of the street in this then poorer parish. The name does not refer to the "folk tale" of the Seven Lazy Brothers , which was only invented in 1845 by the poet Friedrich Wagenfeld .

The street names changed. The Great carters road was part of the harbor road and after 1945 to Faulenstraße and rear Stephani Thor Walle was in 1945 part of the road before Stephani Thor .

Stephaniviertel

The Stephaniviertel , later also known as the Faulenquartier , emerged as a small settlement around 1050 and was one of the four districts or parishes in medieval Bremen with the St. Stephani Church built in 1139 . When Bremen received its city ​​wall around the middle of the 12th century, initially only on the land side , the parish (parish district) sancti Stephani was largely outside. It was not until around 1307 that the previously unprotected Stephaniviertel west of the Kleiner Balge was incorporated into the Bremen city fortifications on the land side . The dividing old wall remained standing for another century and a half.

A small pedestrian gate in this wall, the Brill , connected the rather poor Faulenstrasse with the Hutfilterstrasse to the southeast . The only connection suitable for wagons from the first walling into the Stephanistadt was the Natel in the course of the parallel Langenstrasse until 1551 .

At the northwest end, Faulenstrasse was widened like a square. From the 16th to the 19th century there was a syringe house on the square . From here the road Vor dem Doven Thore led northwards to Doventor , from which one could get to the villages of Utbremen and Walle . In a straight continuation of the Faulenstrasse, the Große Fuhrfahrer Strasse led northwest to the Adamspforte of the city wall. Along the inside of the wall one came to the Stephanithor - porta sancti Stephani . In the Middle Ages, the gate, built in 1307, led from the Große Straße , which began at the western corner of the Stephanikirchhof, to the Stephani Kirchen Weide . With the modernization of the Bremen ramparts from around 1600, the Stephanibastion was built in front of the medieval Stephanitor.

19/20. century

In 1879 a horse-drawn tram line ( Hastedt - Walle ) was run through the street by the company Große Bremer Pferdebahn . Around 1900 the Bremen tram was electrified here. Today in Bremen the lines 2 and 3 run through the street. There has been a connection between Faulenstrasse and the free ports since 1889 and the intermediate section was called Hafenstrasse . The horse-drawn tram and later tram drove here.

Around 1900 two- to four-story buildings dominated the street, some of which were still gabled houses with gable roofs. The JE Neumeyer department store was established there. At Neuen Weg 9 to 11, from 1902 Faulenstrasse 4 to 8, at the connection to Am Brill , there were two four-storey residential and commercial buildings built around 1898 in the style of eclecticism . Friedrich Hagemann's wool and hosiery shop was located here. A series of longer corridors such as Fettengang , Hanenwinkelsgang and Berneckersgang joined the north side of the street to the west and formed dead ends. Emil Koopmann had his clothes shop here. In the 1920s there was a rapid change in development.

Around 1930 there were predominantly four-story residential and commercial buildings facing the Brill and two- to three-story houses facing Dovetorstraße, some as gabled houses. The ten-story, 40-meter-high tower of the Bamberg department store on the corner of Dovetorstrasse, completed in 1929, became a dominant feature of urban development.

Before 1945, Faulenstrasse led directly to Hafenstrasse at the Bremen ports and to Walle. Today the traffic is led from Faulenstrasse via Dovetorstrasse and Dovetorscontrescarpe towards Walle.

In 1944 only a few older buildings were preserved due to the severe destruction in World War II , including the gabled house at Faulenstrasse 17 , which is now a listed building, and the skeleton of the Bamberg house. The rebuilding after the war mostly took place in the 1960s. After 2000, when Radio Bremen moved, the district was also upgraded to a media district with several new buildings.

In 1924 it was converted into a simpler four-story, four-axis building with a mansard roof . In 1928 the unions moved into the Volkshaus in Walle . Then the Leffers brothers' textile department store was rebuilt according to plans by Heinrich Wilhelm Behrens ; Destroyed in 1944.

The Jewish merchant Julius Bamberger founded his five- story Julius Bamberger department store in Art Nouveau decor on the corner of Doventorstrasse and Faulenstrasse in 1907 . In the 1910s and 20s he expanded his business to Faulenstrasse. In 1929 he opened the new building of the first modern department store in the New Objectivity style based on plans by Heinrich Behrens-Nicolai . Around 1932, the department store was expanded on the site of the old building from 1907. Bamberger was persecuted from 1933, the company was dissolved in 1937 and he had to flee. After the reconstruction of the house with a shortened tower from 1955 (architect Johannes A. Falk) and the renovation from around 2005 to 2007 by building contractor Klaus Hübotter , shops and dining facilities as well as the headquarters of the Bremen Adult Education Center and the Bremen Archives working group are located in the Building with its tower in the old height.
