history
The original population of the Schnoor consisted mainly of river fishermen and boatmen. In the epoch of classicism and historicism , most of the often small buildings were built from around 1800 to 1890. In the further course it became a poor people's quarter, which largely fell into disrepair - especially after the Second World War . In 1959 the city passed a statute for the protection of the building stock worth preserving. The houses have been documented and many have been listed as historical monuments since the 1970s. From the 1960s onwards, with the support of the city, renovations, gap closings and renovations took place in the Schnoor.
The three-storey, clinkered front gabled house on the street Hinter der Holzpforte 1 with a gable roof was built around 1550 in the Renaissance era and rebuilt around 1805 and 1962. In the past there were storage areas on the top two gable floors and instead of the windows there were folding shutters. Next to it is the Concordenhaus .
The rear two-story, decaying extension was demolished. In 1962, the three-storey new building section with a modern facade with large window elements in a concrete frame and red stone parapets according to plans by the architect Rolf Störmer, who built his studio and house here, was built on the back (Marterburg 29). The house is opposite the Katzencafé (Schnoor 38).
Today (2018) the house is used by a gallery, a film office and for living.
The street name Hinter der Holzpforte is reminiscent of the two medieval Holtporten in the Bremen city wall , through which the wood that was carried down the Weser in the form of rafts could be brought into the city.
