history

Surname

Hermann Henrich Meier - Bellstedt - 1890.jpg

The H.-H.-Meier-Allee was named after the businessman, politician and co-founder of North German Lloyd (NDL) Hermann Henrich Meier (1809–1898).

The NDL was founded in 1857 by Meier (1809–1898) and Eduard Crüsemann (1826–1869) as the first director of the Bremen shipping company and by Gustav Kulenkampff (1811–1878). Meier was also a member of the Reichstag of the German Empire from 1881 to 1887 .

development

The district of Neu-Schwachhausen was not built on until after the Second World War in the 1960s. a. by the Bremer Beamtenbaugesellschaft (BBG) and the Bremer Schoss with multi-storey rental houses. The district had 5723 inhabitants (2009). The district of Riensberg, as the manor district of Riensberg, was a district between the villages of Schwachhausen and Horn.

Tram line 16 from 1963

traffic

In 1959, the route of line 16 from Wachmannstrasse to Riensberg was extended on H.-H.-Meier-Allee. In 1967 the previous line 16 was given line number 6 (Grolland from 1976 Huchting - Wachmannstraße - Riensberg). After a reorganization of the network, line 6 now ran from the airport to Riensberg and, after an extension in 1998, to the university.

Countess Emma von Lesum (975 / 980-1038) bequeathed the citizens of Bremen to the citizens of Bremen, at that time between Utbremen and Schwachhausen. Her brother-in-law Benno, Duke Bernhard I of Saxony (around 950 / 973-1011), however, decreed that the donation should only include that part of the site that a cripple could crawl around from sunrise to sunset.
