history
The residential and commercial building Suding und Soeken was built around 1620/30 in the Renaissance style. It is the last Bremen merchant's house with a preserved hall. The two-storey airspace shows that the hall once comprised the entire ground floor, from where all the upper storeys could be fed by means of a central winch. The 12.50 meter wide gable with its seven storeys is a typical example of the Weser Renaissance . The gable front has a “magnificent, bizarre moving cartilage gable ”.
The two-storey Utlucht was built around 1730. The same applies to the office and kitchen on the ground floor and the hall on the upper floor next to the five rooms. A magnificent staircase, some with two flights, led from the ground floor to the representative rooms. The carvings on the parapets of the stairs and the galleries were rich . There is a gallery in front of the small hall on one side and the living rooms on the other. The outer rococo additions in the two lower plinth floors are characterized by the sandstone .
In 1902 the house was completely renovated, but the gable and the floor plan of the main floors were preserved.
Suding & Soeken
In 1888 the company Suding & Soeken was founded by the families of the same name. She sells and manufactures paints and varnishes. In 1901 the company moved into the acquired office building, Langenstrasse 112, today Langenstrasse 28. The brand name REESA was introduced in 1922. The company moved into a new production and administration building in Bremen- Hemelingen in 1962 and later expanded the facilities. In 1964 and 1968 the company took over other paint wholesalers and expanded production in the area of automotive refinish paints and screen printing supplies . The business field expanded through branches in Kassel, Neumünster, Magdeburg, Erfurt and Meißen.
