history

Blumenkamp used to be a country estate in northern St. Magnus, which was hardly built up at the time. In 1862 the railway line from Bremen to Vegesack came with a stop in St. Magnus and another settlement took place.

The Wolde family had the two-storey, plastered villa with an attached one-storey utility wing built in 1864 in the era of historicism . The family coat of arms and the inscription "Anno 1864" are above the main entrance on the north side. Carl Heinrich Wolde (1800–1887) is said to have been the client. He had acquired his fortune in the money exchange business of J. Schultze & Wolde (Bremen, Stintbrücke 1). The property with its spacious park with a nursery (therefore Blumenkamp ) is a striking example of the 19th century country houses near the Lesum . The father-in-law of his son, the cotton baron Ludwig Knoop, also resided on the Lesum in the neighboring, not preserved, Mühlenthal Castle in Knoops Park .

The following owners were: Since around 1898 the businessman Johann Heinrich Lürmann and his wife Betti geb. Wolde (1843–1917) and from 1924 to 1928 the consul Paul Burchard (* 1863). It must then have been taken over by Bremen.

In 1935 the Nazi mothers' rest home Blumenkamp of the Nazi People's Welfare was here ; the house was rebuilt.

Most of the park became public in 1951.

The building authority Bremen-Nord used the building from 1964 to 1989. After that it was a temporary accommodation for emigrants and asylum seekers until 1991/92, until 1993 after a renovation it became a day care center.

On the large Blumenkamp site, the Bremer Heimstiftung built an old people's and nursing home with 190 beds according to plans by Rudi Richter and Willi Kläner. It was later modernized and extended to the foundation village of Blumenkamp , a two- and four-story building complex.

In the northern park area, which is often - historically incorrect - attributed to Knoops Park , there is a garden for the blind .
