history

Surname

The Konsul-Smidt-Straße was named after the merchant, member of the Bremen citizenship and consul in Calcutta Johann Smidt (1839-1910) in 1927 . He founded an import and export company in India and played a major role in expanding the ports and deepening the Weser .

development

With the construction of the Europahafen as a free port after 1888 in the area of ​​the Bremen ports , the area on the Weser developed . The overseas port was added in 1906. In 1910 the complex of industrial ports was opened north of this port basin.

Large areas of the ports were destroyed during the Second World War in 1943/44. The port operations were then rebuilt and expanded.

In 1998 the port basin of the Überseehafen was filled in. In 2000, Bremen decided on the development concept for the restructuring of the old harbor areas in Bremen ; followed by development plans for the quarters.

Due to the changed use of the ports, the former district of Handelshäfen was spun off from the district of Häfen in 2009 and incorporated into the district of Walle as the district of Überseestadt . In 2007 a development plan was decided upon, whereby residential, commercial and office buildings are to be built in the northwest of Überseestadt, in the Überseepark district, which are separated from the adjacent commercial areas by a narrow green strip. In Überseestadt, numerous service companies have settled in the partly renovated and partly newly built buildings.

traffic

After 2000, numerous streets in Überseestadt were renovated, relocated or newly laid out. The city center was connected in this area by the street Am Wall , south via the street Auf der Muggenburg and the Hansator and north via the Doventorscontrescarpe, Hans-Böckler-Straße and the Hansator.

The Bremen tram touches the street at Hansator with line 3 ( Gröpelingen - Überseestadt - Am Brill - Domsheide - Weserwehr). The reintroduction of line 5 to connect Überseestadt and the waterfront to the main station is planned from April 2019.

In transport in Bremen bus line 20 passes through (Hohweg ↔ Bf Walle ↔ Überseestadt ↔ ↔ Central Station Exhibition Center) the road.
