history
Around 1900 many small Bremen houses were built as row houses, which were often very uniform. These eaves, single-storey, small residential houses in the reform style from the turn of the century, some with gables , were built between 1904 and 1905 according to plans by the architect and building contractor Hermann Schelb and they are quite differentiated. Materials, roof and gable shapes change frequently. And yet there is an arrangement scheme for groups of 5 and 6 houses, which, however, barely reveals the row. A bit of Art Nouveau and partly eclectic shapes characterize the facades.
The Eugen Kulenkamp Foundation was established in 1897 with donations amounting to 300,000 marks from the legacy of the Consul General Eugen Kulenkamp (1834–1897), with the purpose of building workers' houses for Bremer "which, due to the size of their family, were not taken up in other houses become". The Bremen Foundation built 39 apartments here and another 60 in other locations. In 1969 the foundation was merged with the Association for Small Rental Apartments from 1849, represented by Tecta Bau- und Betreuungs GmbH in Bremen.
Even today (2014) the houses are used for residential purposes.
