Habenhausen
Habenhausen is a district of Bremen and together with Kattenturm, Kattenesch and Arsten forms the district of Obervieland .
geography
Habenhausen is to the left of the Weser in the south of Bremen and has an area of 509 hectares . The district is bounded in the north by the Werdersee , in the east by the Weser , in the south by the Arsten motorway feeder and in the west by several pastures.
The longest watercourse is the Bunnsackerfleet (or also: Fleet im Seefelde) with a length of 2.2 kilometers.
history
Habenhausen was mentioned for the first time in 1124 under the Low German name Hoobenhusen (roughly: settlement of Habo). The first settlers were probably Dutch colonists. The residents lived from agriculture and delivered their products to the markets of Bremen, a good five kilometers away.
In April 1547, in the Schmalkaldic War , habenhausen / Arsten was affected by the imperial siege army of the Catholic Duke Erich zu Braunschweig-Lüneburg .
From 1598, habenhausen belonged to the Goh Obervieland, which was created by the division of the Gohs Vieland and to which the villages of Alken, Arsten, habenhausen, Neuenland, Grolland , Ledense, Kirch-, Mittel- and Brokhuchting , Malswarden (near Strom ), Varrelgraben and Wurtsee belonged.
In 1666 the Peace of habenhausen between Sweden and Bremen was concluded under the leadership of Field Marshal Carl Gustav Wrangel . Wrangel had his fortified "main camp" in habenhausen, depicted in a copper engraving by Caspar Schultze . The Swedish barn where peace was made was demolished in 1938; there is a memorial plaque here. Schwedenstrasse in habenhausen commemorates this event.
In the Second Stade settlement of 1741, Bremen's sovereignty was retained for habenhausen / Arsten in relation to the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg . In February 1761 the Weser dike broke at habenhausen and again in March 1830. From 1875, habenhausen belonged prematurely to the German customs area , while Bremen did not join until 1884.
On April 1, 1921, parts of the rural communities of Arsten and habenhausen were incorporated into the city of Bremen. On December 1, 1945, the rural communities Arsten and habenhausen were completely incorporated.
The first major redevelopment took place in the 1920s and 1930s when many new workers' houses were being built. Habenhausen survived the two world wars almost unscathed. On April 25, 1945 troops of the British 3rd Division marched through habenhausen.
Since 1949, a new pavilion-style school has been built in habenhausen on Bunnsackerweg and is constantly being expanded. This later became the habenhausen high school and the primary school on Bunnsackerweg.
The major Werdersee project as part of a green belt was initiated by construction director Gerd Offenberg at the end of the 1930s . The lake and the green zone were created in the late 1950s. After the floods of 1981, major changes were made to 1987.
In 1962 the district was assigned to the then newly formed district of Obervieland. In the following decades numerous new building areas were designated; the population increased rapidly. The old town center can still be seen today.
The construction of the Werder Bridge from 1966 to 1971 - Karl Carstens Bridge since 1999 - connected the Obervieland with the right bank of the Weser. The name Erdbeerbrücke , which is common in Bremen, refers to the formerly widespread cultivation of strawberries in Arsten and habenhausen.
In 1981 the Weser before habenhausen suffered the largest flooding since 1946. Flooding of the residential areas behind the dyke could only just barely be prevented.
The poet's quarter was built in the late 1970s / early 1980s in the north-west of the district. It is somewhat separated from the rest of habenhausen by two country roads. It got its name because almost all streets are named after poets.
In 1979 classes began in the private evangelical denominational school .

Population development
The population increased sharply in the 20th century, not least because of the good connection to the city. The population density was 1812 inhabitants per square kilometer, less than in the other districts of Obervieland. There were 3878 private households in 2011. The proportion of foreigners and unemployed in habenhausen are below average.

Economy and Transport
economy
Agriculture is almost no longer to be found in habenhausen. Only two farms are still used for agriculture.
A significant number of companies belong to the tertiary sector . They are located in the habenhausen business park . 319 companies (2011) such as car dealerships and logistics companies provide an important part of the economic output. However, the townscape is mainly dominated by residential developments. The commercial and industrial area makes up less than a tenth of the total building and open space in habenhausen.
The so-called summer festival has been held once a year in the business park since 1997 . This trade show with a few accompanying amusement facilities attracts more than 20,000 visitors every year.
traffic
Havehausen is away from the core city area, but is very well connected to the rest of the city via several main roads. The Arsten motorway slip road leads to the A1 motorway (Hamburg / Bremen / Ruhr area). Two VBN bus lines with a total of 12 stops serve the district. The main access roads in the south-north direction are habenhauser Brückenstraße , Baumhauser Weg , Karl-Marx-Straße and Friedrich-Engels-Straße, as well as in west-east direction habenhauser Landstraße, the axes Ernst-Buchholz-Straße / Pfarrfeldsweg and Ohserstraße / Piependamm.

Parks and lakes
Habenhausen is surrounded by green belts and local recreation areas.
In the north the long Werdersee stretches with its meadows, dykes and beaches, in the east the Weser with small sandy bays. In addition, on the outskirts of habenhausen, albeit in the area of the district of Kattenturm, there is also the Krimpelsee, which was excavated in order to be able to build the motorway feeder with the excavation. The watercourses are open for swimming and are well frequented in summer.
Habenhausen has two nature reserves :
- the bird sanctuary on the Weser
- The New Weser protected area is 34.8 hectares in size and was created after the Weser breakthrough in 1981 ; it is dominated by the largest habenhauser lake.
- The greater part of the habenhauser Weserwiesen is designated as a landscape protection area.
