Former restaurant Meyer am Boom (2011, view from the intersection of Oberneulander Landstrasse / Tilingweg and Hodenberger Strasse)

The restaurant Meyer am Boom (formerly also Meyer vorm Boom ) was a restaurant in Bremen , Oberneuland district , Oberneulander Landstrasse  8. The restaurant business was given up in 2014 after the traditional inn had been run as a family business for around three hundred years . The building has been a listed building in Bremen since 1973 .

history

The building was originally built as a farmhouse around 1720 or earlier in what was then the village of Oberneuland ( Low German Överneeland ). There has been a bar there at least since 1722, according to other sources since 1711 . The name am Boom (Low German for 'am Baum') does not refer to a tree, but to a barrier that "blocked today's Hodenberger Straße (formerly a path for interested parties) from Oberneulander Landstraße" in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant. In 1760 the tavern was operated as a "Landeskrug". The elongated property is located at the intersection of Oberneulander Landstrasse / Tilingweg and Hodenberger Strasse.

In 1800 the restaurant was the first in Oberneuland to have a bowling alley , which was built as an open-air facility and where there was only a roof on the tee and for the cones. The bowling alley was later abandoned.

The Wanne-Eickel-Hamburg railway and the Bremen-Oberneuland train station were built by 1874 . The restaurant located not far from the train station also benefited from this and was accessible via an existing footpath between the train station and Tilingweg along the railway line.

The restaurant was run continuously by the same owner family. The trademarks of the traditional tavern were "the preservation of the original character and consistently home-style cuisine ". The interior of the guest rooms - "from the plush sofa to the wall clock" - was predominantly antique and was reminiscent of a rural "parlor". The beer and schnapps bar purchased by Hermann Meyer in 1950 was faithfully reproduced in the 1980s.

Until the 1960s and 1970s, the restaurant - for a long time the "only pub in Bremen without a telephone" - was mainly used as a meeting place by the surrounding farmers, and later also by guests of the upper classes.
The building has been used as a residential building since the restaurant business was closed.

Gable side on Oberneulander Landstrasse (2011)

The building, which originally served as a farmhouse, was built in the style of the regionally typical Low German hall house . It was probably built in the early 18th century; According to various sources, the completion is dated around 1720 or earlier, in some cases even before 1711. The building belongs to the two- column building type with side anchoring, which is almost without exception dominant in the Bremen area . The half-timbered structure has bricked and plastered compartments - in a manner customary in terms of location and time . The roof is designed as a half-hip roof and still shows the characteristic thatched roof , which has now become rare ; the wind boards at the top of the gable are decorated with horse heads.
