Building

In 1954/55, the Fruchthof Bremen on Breitenweg was built according to plans by Wilhelm Wortmann and Erik Schott near Bremen Central Station . The four-storey, 21-axis building with around 7500 m² of floor space is 111 m long, 15 m wide and 20 m high. The building housed office space and two auction halls. In the large hall with an area of ​​325 m² there was space for 350 dealers on the rising grandstand. The ripening rooms for bananas are located in the western part - accessible by siding.
The Fruchthof has a gridded, three-part facade with sandstone and ceramic cladding, which is typical of the 1950s. Two stairwells protruding like risalit structure the structure. The canopies over the entrances emphasize the very light stairwells. The brass handrails of the spiral stairs are decorated with brass pineapple fruits on the posts and are reminiscent of the use of the house. The figure relief on the gable side by the Bremen sculptor Paul Halbhuber with motifs such as fruit steamer and tropical fruit transport is a typical design element of the 1950s.

The client was the fruit trade company Scipio & Co. , From which Atlanta AG emerged in 1988 and which became part of Univeg Germany in 2008 . Gustav Scipio (1872–1949) had founded the Fruchthandel-Gesellschaft mbH (FGH) as early as 1902 and had the first fruit farm , which was destroyed in the war, built according to plans by Richard Jansen on Breitenweg in 1908/1911 .

The investor company Stefes Pro from Bremen acquired the building in 2014 after Univeg had moved and is renovating it from 2015. Brock GmbH & Co. KG developed a window construction for the renovation that complies with monument protection requirements such as current energy and noise protection standards. It was recognized for this at the 2016 Bremen Monument Preservation Prize.
