history
Surname
Jürgen Christian Findorff (1720–1792) drove the colonization of the Teufelsmoor forward decisively. The district Findorff - sometimes also called Findorffviertel - bears his name.
Middle Ages to 1800
In 1159 Archbishop Hartwig I's pasture letter mentioned the area of today's Findorff including the Bürgerpark and Stadtwald as a common ( common ) pasture area. It was usable for all citizens.
At some point the western part was separated by the pasture dam, drained through a dense network of drainage ditches and used as a community pasture Kämpe for arable and garden areas. The Hemmstraße - formerly Hempstraße - already existed in the 12th century. In 1139 it led through the village of Wallerehem , from 1179 the village of Hemme , from Utbremen on the Kleine Wümme through the blockland to the Große Wümme. Until 1823 the village was an independent village with 20 to 30 inhabitants.
The plantation was created by a Bremen merchant in 1750 in the south of the Bürgerweide Kämpe as a splendid summer residence and in 1802 it was expanded into an excursion destination.
1800 to 1900
Peat canal
From 1817 to 1826 the peat canal was built in Findorff and the peat harbor near the plantation. About the Torfkanal the important as fuel was peat per Torfkahn from the Devil's Moor in Findorff Torfhafen. A new harbor basin (Theodor-Heuss-Allee) was built in 1847. The peat harbor - the peat basin - was relocated between Eickedorfer- / Neukirchstraße in 1873. The pool was clad with bricks. The Findorff market has been taking place on the part that was filled in around 1945/46 since 1948.
The railway systems
The Hanover – Bremen railway line was opened in 1847 and extended to Bremerhaven in 1862. It leads along the edge of Findorff. The train stopped at the so-called "State Railway Station" (named after the Royal Hanoverian State Railways ), later called the "Hannoverscher Bahnhof". It was located west of what is now Bremen's main train station, which opened in 1889, and was demolished in 1885.
In 1873 the Hamburg train station was built on the Bürgerweide. In 1874 the railway line from Bremen to Hamburg went into operation, which led across Findorff and whose route can still be recognized today as a green corridor between Fürther Straße and Innsbrucker Straße. Around 1890 the route was swiveled west to its current location, and the Hamburger Bahnhof was demolished.
The old route was used again from 1900: The Jan-Reiners-Bahn as a narrow-gauge railway Bremen – Tarmstedt opened in 1900. It ended at the corner of Hollerallee / Gustav-Deetjen-Allee. In 1954 this line was shut down.
1850 to 1900
The construction of the gas works (Theodor-Heuss-Allee / Gustav-Deetjen-Allee) took place in 1854. In 1901 the gas works was relocated to Woltmershausen .

In 1875 Findorff had about 2500 inhabitants.
In 1874 Neukirchstrasse was built by the haulier of the same name, Arnold Neukirch, and well-preserved houses for civil servants and railway workers as well as hostels for peat boaters were built to this day. In 1898, the construction of Eickedorfer Strasse followed in parallel , which developed into a thoroughfare.
The town slaughterhouse was built from 1879 to 1882. The Torfstraße received in 1892 the name Findorffstraße that Findorffallee takes its name since 1908.
was the first municipal power plant in 1893 (Theodor-Heuss-Allee).
1893 was also the founding of the railway savings and building association to alleviate the housing shortage. The area Bahnlinie – Hemmstraße – Neukirchstraße – Findorffstraße was built on with one- and two-story houses. Many officials and employees lived here. The vernacular already referred to the quarter as Findorff.
1900 to 1950
The Findorff Citizens' Association was founded in 1902. It initially had 300 and in 1922 over 1,000 members and published the monthly “Der Findorffer”.
The Missler -Hallen on Hemmstrasse, in which emigrants from Eastern European countries are housed until they leave for Bremerhaven , were built in 1906/07. In 1933 the Nazis set up their first concentration camp in Bremen in the Misslerhallen .
Starting in 1907, the first development was carried out on the Weidedamm , a dam that accompanied the peat canal and which then became a street.
In 1912 Findorff had about 10,000 inhabitants.
Tram: A connection to the Bremen tram network was established in 1913 with the new line 9 from Hemmstraße via Admiralstraße - Findorfftunnel - main station to Sankt-Jürgen-Straße . A second connection was established in 1927 when the route to the Bürgerpark was extended through Eickedorfer Straße to Hemmstraße. Both routes were connected to a ring.
School building: The school on Herbststrasse was built in 1908 with 16 classrooms. This school building was destroyed in the Second World War. In 1912 the school on Nürnberger Straße had to be built to relieve the burden with 18 classes. (today Oberschule Findorff ) An elementary school on Regensburger Strasse with 19 classes and almost 1000 students was completed in 1913. Another 12 classrooms for a special school were built by 1914 with the school on Gothaer Straße (today Findorff High School).
A pumping station on Bayernstrasse was built in 1915/16. The plot area in the hooves was 1916.
