history
The original population of the Schnoor consisted mainly of river fishermen and boatmen. In the epoch of classicism and historicism , most of the often small buildings were built from around 1800 to 1890. In the further course it became a poor people's quarter, which largely fell into disrepair - especially after the Second World War . In 1959 the city passed a statute for the protection of the building stock worth preserving. The houses have been documented and many have been listed as historical monuments since the 1970s. From the 1960s onwards, with the support of the city, renovations, gap closings and renovations took place in the Schnoor.
The two-storey, plastered gabled house with a gable roof and the distinctive entrance was built around 1750 in the Baroque era for the overseer of the bastion on the wall . Since the exact date of construction of the house could not be determined, 1710 was also assumed to be the year of construction, when the property came into municipal possession. In 1762 the merchant and skipper Johan Kannengießer bought the house and carried out renovations. In 1848 it was sold to ship captain Joh. Hinrich Spilker. In 1874 the merchant HW Fröhlke bought the house and founded a vinegar factory in 1878, which existed until the 1930s and was used as a vinegar branch until around 1950.
In 1953 the building was converted into a residential building with larger windows. The loading hatch and winch boom disappeared. In 1963 it was converted into a restaurant and gallery. The facade is changing and the beautiful rococo door has been renovated.
The existing restaurant Kleiner Olymp was named after the French film Children of Olympus ( Les Enfants du paradis ).
The residential building Hinter der Holzpforte 3 and the Concordenhaus are opposite. The street name Hinter der Holzpforte is reminiscent of the two medieval Holtporten in the Bremen city wall , through which the wood that was carried down the Weser in the form of rafts could be brought into the city.
