history
Hermann Post (1693–1762), Bremen state archivist , acquired the former Vorwerk from his father-in-law, Bremen's mayor Hermann von Line . He leased the property. After Post's death in 1762, his son-in-law inherited Hofrat Dr. Albert Schumacher, at times also envoy in Copenhagen, the estate. He used it as a country estate and had a new manor house built after 1762. Replicas of statues from Fredensborg Castle on the island of Zealand in Denmark therefore came to Oberneuland. They represent the four elements of fire, water, air and earth. The statue Terra (earth) is now in the park of the Riensberg estate of the Focke Museum , the other three in Heinekens Park.
Christian Abraham Heineken (1752–1818), councilor and mayor since 1792, inherited the estate in 1782. Around this time (around 1790) the Hofmeierhaus, which is still preserved today, was built. Heineken had a park created around the manor; a preference of wealthy middle-class families for rural life, who lived in the form of summer apartments and garden areas. Gottlieb Altmann, also the planner of Ichon's Park, helped to create the 27 hectare park .
Heinekens Park was initially a French / Dutch baroque garden with putti and artistically cut hedges. In the second half of the 18th century, parts of it were redesigned into a romanticizing landscape park. The hedge rondell , which was laid out around 1770, is remarkable . It consists of a 6.25 meter high hornbeam hedge with arched passages, which surrounds a 50 × 39 meter oval lawn. The roundabout is surrounded by a path that is limited by a further 2 meter high hedge.
The single-storey manor house Haus Heineken , also called Haus Schumacher , was built around 1790 in the era of classicism and expanded in 1871 in the historicism style according to plans by Gustav Runge to a seven-axis house with a two-storey central risalit with a gable. After installing heating in the 1920s, it was also inhabited in winter. In 2018 the renovated property has seven apartments.
In 1970 the park area was to be designated as building land. This was partially prevented after protests. The Nordwestdeutsche Siedlungsgesellschaft built, among other things, an eight-story high-rise apartment building near the northern border of the park. The Heineken family left the southern, 2.7 hectare part of the property to the city for a park that has been public since 1975 with the preserved hedge rondelle and rare trees. State monument curator Rudolf Stein later described Heineken's park as Bremen's most precious garden.
Parts of the park are part of the FFH area parks in Oberneuland .
