history

Wolfskuhle estate with Franzosentor from 1896

Surname

The Kattenturmer Heerstraße was named after the Catteneschnertorme (1398: torne to dem Kattenesche ), first mentioned in 1390 , a no longer existing solid, multi-storey watchtower, at times even a small fort, which secured the crossing of the country road from Syke over the Ochtum. The Kattenthorn - as it was also called - stood at the Ochtum, over which a drawbridge led, in today's Kattenesch. Katten stands for the Low German form of cats. In Bremen and Umzu, many military roads were built after 1800 or roads were named as military roads (see Bremen streets ).

development

The Vieland was a flat, swampy land that was partially cultivated from 1201. Bremen gained state rights in the 14th century. The Wolfskuhle estate was expanded in 1758. In 1799 the drawbridge over the Ochtum was replaced by a permanent bridge. The tower was demolished in 1803. In 1812 Kattenturm had up to 15 and Kattenesch 52 inhabitants. Kattenesch was incorporated in 1921 and the Obervieland district was founded in 1962.
Before 1960, the district of Kattenturm was shaped more like a village and Kattenesch is also a young district that was expanded after 1960. The Kattenturmer Heerstraße was a country road that led from Syke or Bassum to Bremen.

traffic

The old country road was expanded into Kattenturmer Heerstraße in the 19th century. It became part of Reichsstraße R6 around 1933 and thus became Bundesstraße 6 . From the Bremen-Kattenturm exit, it splits into federal highway 6 and the B 6n, which is a four-lane highway-like road that leads to federal highway 1 (A1, Bremen-Arsten junction). The Kattenturmer Heerstraße as B6 is to be relieved by a new road at the airport.

The Bremen-Arster Bahn ran from 1910 to 2016 with a trolleybus on the Kattenturmer Heerstraße.

Today the Bremen tram touches the area at the Sielhof stop on Kornstraße with line 4 ( Arsten - Lilienthal ).

In local transport in Bremen, the road runs through bus lines 52 (Huchting ↔ Kattenturm), 53 (Huckelriede ↔ Brinkum) to Wolfskuhlenweg, 101 (Bremen Hbf - Bassum ), 102 (Bremen Hbf - Syke ), 120 (Bremen Hbf - Kirchweyhe ), 226 (Bremen Hbf - Wildeshausen ) and 750 as well as N9 (Vahr-Arsten).

Cycle path from habenhauser dyke , via Kattenesch (sports facility), then on the Ochtum to Huchting.
