history
Bremen city militaries existed in various organizational forms as citizens' groups in the four parish teams, as Bremen citizens' companies , as Bremen rifle companies or as a vigilante / citizens' guild . The . Infantry Regiment "Bremen" (first Hanseatic) No 75 was an infantry - regiment of the Prussian army , which in Bremen and Stade was stationed and from 1866 to 1918 bore the name with additions of 1867 and 1904. The barracks went from Bremen to the German Empire in 1873 .
The former barracks IV, built around 1890, is the oldest surviving building in Bremen that was built for military purposes. It is an important testimony to Bremen's military history. It is the last remnant of the barracks group on Neustadtswall. The first barracks were built on the bastions of the Neustadtswall in 1815 at the Hohentor and in 1840/42 on the Schwarzpott bastion . The barracks at the Hohentor served as a cavalry site and was soon abandoned. The barracks on the Schwarzpott Bastion burned down in 1871. It was rebuilt and expanded. This first barracks I was supplemented by barracks II, III, IV and V and other buildings in 1892/93. The barracks were used by the infantry regiment "Bremen" (1st Hanseatic) No. 75. The typical barracks built in 1892/93 were built in the area of the earlier trench of the Neustädter ramparts that had been thrown over.
The three-storey brick building of Barracks IV has a three-axis, staggered central risalit . In the building epoch of historicism , the style elements from classicism were adopted , as in the case of barracks I. The arched windows and the cornice shape the design. The barracks on the Neustadtswall were destroyed in the Second World War . Only barracks IV was slightly damaged and could be restored.
The preserved, elongated enclosure of the barracks area on the Neustadtscontrescarpe consists of the brick base, the brick pillars with sandstone cover and the wrought-iron grid elements.
The building was used by the Infantry Regiment "Bremen" (1st Hanseatic) No. 75 until 1918 , by the Bremen Government Guard from 1919, by the 1st Battalion of the Reichswehr Rifle Regiment 110 from October 1919 and after 1945 by the police. The Neustadt police station moved to Airportstadt ( Bremen Airport ), Otto-Lilienthal-Straße 15/17. The Neustadt police station, Schulstrasse 11, remained in the former barracks.
