history

Names

The square was named after the Hanseatic people , as residents of the Hanseatic city can also be called. In 1260 the city joined the Hanseatic League . At the Hanseatic Days in 1629 and 1641, Hamburg, Bremen and Lübeck were commissioned to preserve the best for the good of the Hanseatic League, and in 1669 the last Hanseatic Days took place.

Streets in the square

The squares and streets on the square were named: the Ansgarikirchhof after the Gothic church of St. Ansgarii , which was destroyed in the Second World War ; the Ansgaritorwallstraße after earlier gate in the city walls to which they led; the road ends after the road ended at Ansgaritor in the Middle Ages; the Papestraße by the priests (Latin papa = Father = Pastor) who lived here, and the upper road to the upper layer of the medieval street.

developments

The Church of St. Ansgarii has stood south of today's square since the Middle Ages. In the north, the Ansgariitor (porta sancti Anscharii) had been part of the Bremen city wall since 1299 . There were houses on the square. Church and houses were destroyed in World War II. The collapsed church ruin was removed in early 1959.

In 1960, the new Hertie department store building was inaugurated with a bridge to the warehouse according to plans by Hans Soll (Hamburg). Both structures were demolished around 1987. The Bremen Carree and the C&A department store were built on the space, with the Hanseatenhof in between. The Bremen fashion house HW Meyer (from 1965) closes its business operations in the Bremer Carree at the beginning of 2012. After that, major renovations took place until 2017.
