The Green Kamp , later called Grünenkamp was a large open space in Bremen in the district of New Town between Westerstraße (Bremen) , Green Street and today Langemarckstraße . It was a public square from the 18th century until it was sold in 2003.
history
The green camp already existed as an open space in the 17th century when the streets and squares were laid out in the old new town . It was shown in 1757 in the city map by Johann Daniel Heinbach as pasture area between Wester Strasse and Grüne Strasse and the Alte Allee (today Langemarckstrasse), and in 1796 in the plan of the city of Bremen by Carl Ludwig Murtfeldt .
The open space served as a horse market in the 19th century and from 1887 to 1934, together with the Hohentorsplatz, for events at the Bremen Freimarkt . Plans to use the square as a wholesale market were not implemented. The square was reduced in size by the buildings of the Beck brewery . It was now surrounded by trees and the brewery's boiler room on Grünenstrasse closed off the square. From the 19th century, many well-known circuses performed on the square.
At the beginning of 1945, the Grünenkamp served as a meeting point for prisoners of war . The Senator for Construction requested 1900 male and 116 female forced laborers from concentration and prisoner-of-war camps to clear rubble and clean up after the heavy bombing. The workers were divided into 16 construction companies, six roofing companies and seven glazing companies.
After the Second World War , the paved area, which is now 145 × 125 meters, was used as a parking lot. After the Beck brewery was sold to InBev in 2002, a warehouse for the brewery was built on the Grünenkamp and a logistics center with green glass blocks for the brewery according to plans by Gert Schulze and Pampus. The circus now performed elsewhere.
In 2003, Lucie-Flechtmann-Platz was created as a replacement .
