history

Surname

The name Gröpelingen comes from the syllables gropen or grüppe for graben and linga for the people of . In Bremen and Umzu, many military roads were built after 1800 or roads were named as military roads (see Bremen streets ).

development

In 1218 Gröpelingen was first mentioned in Goh Werderland . The land belongs to the knights of Gröpelingen. At the Ohlenhof ( Ohle Hoff ) was the headquarters of the gentlemen and ministers of Gröpelingen, who were also judges of Gröpelingen. In 1834 their manor was bought by Hermann Köhler and he ran fruit and vegetable growing there. The area was cut through by the railway line in 1860. In the 15th century, when the Gröpelinger Knights died out, Gröpelingen came under the rule of the Bremen Council and was incorporated into Bremen in 1891/1902.

A road connection from the village of Gröpelingen to the village of Oslebshausen already existed in the Middle Ages. During the French period in Bremen , the road was developed into a military road for the troop movements of the Napoleonic Grande Armée in the north-south direction. In 1812 Gröpelingen had 342 inhabitants. The complete expansion of the Chaussee, later on Gröpelinger Heerstraße , to Oslebshausen took place in 1820/21. On the street next to the farms, the Bremen citizens u. a. their summer residences; there were also places for excursions.

Between 1885 and 1914 the construction of the ports and the settlement of industrial companies took place and Gröpelingen changed fundamentally. A denser development with rental houses for the workers was built on the street. After the First World War , further social housing buildings were built. The workers' suburb "Rotes Gröpelingen" was a stronghold of the SPD and KPD . The tram depot was built in 1926.

During the November pogroms in 1938 , SA men attacked the Jewish old people's home at Rosenak-Haus on Gröpelinger Heerstrasse and the corner of Morgenlandstrasse. During the Second World War in 1944 many buildings were destroyed in Gröpelingen during air raids on Bremen .

In the 1950s to 1970s, the district was rapidly rebuilt. In 1999 the West District Library was opened in a new building in the nearby Lindenhofstrasse .

traffic

The old military road had been Reichsstrasse 6 (R 6) since 1932 and then Bundesstrasse 6 , until it was replaced in 1981 by the expansion of the A27 motorway .

From 1901 to 1903 a Bremen tram line was built from the city center in Gröpelinger Heerstraße to Oslebshausen. This train has been running as Line 2 since 1908, which ended here in 1926 after the construction of the depot. Around 1939 there was also a line 8 that ran from Gröpelingen to Burg. This line was initially operated as a trolleybus in 1949 and as a bus route from 1961, with the line number then changing.

In Bremen's local traffic, tram lines 2 (Gröpelingen - Walle - Domsheide - Sebaldsbrück ) and 10 (Gröpelingen - Walle - Hauptbahnhof - Sebaldsbrück) as well as bus lines 81 (to industrial ports), 82 (ring traffic Gröpelingen), 90 (to Bremen-Nord and Neuenkirchen ), 91 (to Rönnebeck), 92 (to Farge ), 93 (to Marßel) and 94 (to Schwanewede ).
