The Kirchweg is a historic street in Bremen 's Neustadt district, the Buntentor and Gartenstadt Süd districts . It leads in a north-south direction from Buntentorsteinweg to Neuenlander Straße .

It is divided into the sub-areas

history

development

Since 1201 the Nielandt (1284: Nyenlande ) was colonized on Neuenlander Strasse ; several homesteads were built.
In 1564 a new military road was paved, which was initially called Am Steinwege and is now Buntentorsteinweg.

Between the two streets in the plan of Ober Vieland from 1809 in the chronicle of Christian Abraham Heineken , west of the Feldmark Gastfeld der Kirchen Weg am Prinzenkamp , which the residents use from Neuenlander Strasse to their St. Pauli Church . The area between the streets was farmland well into the 19th century.
The Kornstrasse was expanded from 1873, the Gastfeldstrasse from 1875 and the Süderthorsvorstadt developed towards Neuenlander Strasse from 1900. In
1865 the Kirchweg was expanded. In 1876 the Protestant St. Jakobi Church was built on the corner of Kirchweg and Kornstraße. The first houses were built between the streets, from west to north and from north to south between around 1848 (Bruchstrasse) and until around 1900.

The garden city south was considerably enlarged by the Gewoba from 1957 to 1960 by a large new building area. This settlement received residential buildings in a functional design language as mostly four- and eight-story row buildings.

traffic

The construction of an inner ring of a city freeway in Bremen, which was supposed to lead through the Ostertor (Mozarttrasse) and the Neustadt (Kirchweg), failed in the 1970s due to public protests.

Tram line 6 ran through Gastfeldstrasse from 1958 to 1967, starting at Kirchweg and leading to Hemmstrasse in Findorff.

The Bremen tram touches the street through line 4 ( Lilienthal - Domsheide - Arsten) on Buntentorsteinweg.

In local transport in Bremen, bus routes 26 ( Huckelriede - Walle ) and 27 (Huckelriede - Findorff / Weidedamm ) run through Gastfeldstrasse and then Kirchweg to Kornstrasse.

Buildings and facilities

On the street are u. a. one to four-story buildings and an eight-story high-rise apartment building.
