history

Surname

The Kurfürstenallee was named in 1910 after the originally (1257) seven and finally (1803) ten electors of the Holy Roman Empire , who had the right to elect a king .

development

In 1803, Schwachhausen became a village with 206 inhabitants in the Bremen rural area. It was not until the end of the 19th century that there was increased settlement in what is now the Gete district (see map of the village from 1803), when Bremen merchants built their country houses and villas.
Radio Bremen's radio house was built around 1950/52 on the Bürgermeister-Spitta-Allee / corner of Heinrich-Hertz-Strasse, i.e. in the vicinity of the street.

The Vahr (1167 Vare , later Voren ; Fuhren = furrow) is a very young part of Bremen. The garden city of Vahr was planned by Ernst May ( Neue Heimat , Hamburg) for Gewoba from 1956 ; Later on, the architects Max Säum and Günther Hafemann (both from Bremen) joined in as planners.
In the Vahr from 1954 to 1964 around 14,000 u. a. Socially supported apartments built in the large housing estate for over 33,000 residents. Gewoba was the client for many apartments .
In 1972 the Großer Kurfürst residential complex was built.

traffic

The eastern section of the A 27 autobahn from 1937 in the area of ​​the Blockland is one of the oldest German autobahns. After the Second World War , the motorway access for the Vahr junction was expanded in the 1960s, combined with considerable urban planning problems at the beginning of Kurfürstenallee, where many villas and apartment buildings stood. The autostraße was crossed by several pedestrian bridges and it led over two streets (Kirchbachstraße and Bürgermeister-Spitta-Allee / In der Vahr). The top speed was later reduced from 80 or 70 to 50 km / h.

The Bremen tram touches the street today with line 1 ( Huchting - Mahndorf ) (2 ×) and 4 ( Lilienthal - Arsten ).

In local transport in Bremen, the road runs through bus line 24 ( Rablinghausen ↔ Neue Vahr-Nord).

Buildings and facilities

There are mostly two to three-story buildings on the street. including many villas.
