The Hemmstraße is a historical street in north-south direction in Bremen in the district Findorff . It leads from Borkumstraße to Hochschulring .

The Hemmstraße is divided into three major areas:

  • the southern part of Borkumerstraße through the Hemmstraße tunnel under the railway and the now livelier street to Fürth- / Eickedorfer Straße ,
  • the middle part to the Utbremer Ring
  • and the northern, quiet part up to the Hochschulring.

The cross streets were u. a. Named as Kohlenstraße after a storage area for coal, Frielinger Straße after a place near Soltau , Falkenbenberger Straße and Seeberger Straße after districts of Lilienthal , Timmersloher Straße and Katrepeler Straße after places near Borgfeld, Neukirchstraße after the builder Armin Neukirch, Mittelwiese as the field name, Am Kalkberg because of the limestone deposits there, Heinrich-Klenke-Weg (?), Sulingskamp (field name) as well as female first names; otherwise see the link to the streets.

The Hemmstraße is the street with the fourth highest house number in Bremen (No. 500).

history

Surname

The village Wallerhemme was documented in 1139 in the Niederblockland . In 1179 it was named Hemme . Hemm (e) stands for places or places (such as Hemme , Hemmoor ). The street used to be called Hempstraße .

development

The Hemmstrasse already existed in the 12th century. In 1139 it led through the village of Wallerhemme von Utbremen on the Kleine Wümme through the blockland to the Große Wümme. In 1823 the village had only 20 to 30 inhabitants. In 1336 there was a chapel on the street. A courtyard built there, which was first mentioned in the 14th century, is called Kapelle-Hof. The farmers who lived by the road were also called Hemzatere ; they were responsible for keeping the cow ditch clean .

In 1912 Findorff had about 10,000 inhabitants. In the Missler-Hallen from 1906/07 on Hemmstrasse / Walsroder Strasse, emigrants from Eastern European countries were housed until they left for Bremerhaven. The Nazis converted the halls into their first concentration camp in Bremen in 1933.

The autumn street festival is held on Hemmstrasse and Admiralstrasse .

traffic

The small railway Bremen – Tarmstedt , popularly called Jan Reiners , was a railway line that ran from 1900 to 1956 from the Bremen Parkbahnhof via Bremen Hemmstraße station as the operating center of the small railway via Lilienthal to Tarmstedt . It transported peat, mail and other goods as well as people on excursions.

In 1913, with the new line 9 from Hemmstraße to Sankt-Jürgen-Straße , Findorff also got a connection to the tram network. In 1927 the tram line in Findorff, which has ended at Bürgerpark since 1890 (and again today), was extended through Eickedorfer Strasse to Hemmstrasse. With that, Findorff was opened up by two routes, and a ring traffic could be set up. After line 9 was discontinued, this line number was not reassigned.

In transport in Bremen operate on the Hemmsstraße bus lines 25 (Weidedamm-South - Utbremer ring - Am Brill - Domsheide - Central Station - Swiss Eck), 26 (Emden street - Fürther Str. - Hemmstr -. Eicke Str -. Hauptbahnhof - Am Brill - Huckelriede), 27 (Weidedamm Nord - Innsbrucker Str. - Utbremer Ring - Eickedorfer Str. - Hauptbahnhof - Am Brill - Huckelriede) and 28 (Universität-Nord - Innsbrucker Str. - Utbremer Ring - Hemmstr. - Waller Ring - Emder Str. ).
