location
The Lür-Kropp-Hof park is located in Bremen about 9 kilometers east of the city center near the federal motorway 27 and can be reached from the Bremen-Vahr AB exit after about 1.9 kilometers via Franz-Schütte-Allee in a north-easterly direction .
timeline
The exact construction date of the courtyard is not known. The first documentary mention of the farm comes from the year 1589. This farm was owned by the Kropp family from November 16, 1664 until 1978. It got its name from the last male owner, von Lür Kropp, who ran the estate at the beginning of the 20th century. His daughter Meta Rödiger, nee Kropp, was the last of her tribe to live in the farmhouse. After her death in 1978, she bequeathed the farm to the state of Bremen.
In a will from 1970 the farm was bequeathed to the last owner of the municipality of Bremen “for the general public and for the non-profit interests and needs of the Oberneuland local authority”. The former head of the Oberneuland local office, Hinrich "Hinni" Kaemena, played a key role in the creation of this generous donation.
Extensive renovation and expansion work was carried out between 1978–1983, for which the Wohnliche Stadt Foundation provided considerable support. Some of the land has been transformed into a public park and the courtyard has been transformed into a living museum in collaboration with the Focke Museum. The establishment of a teaching apiary by the Bremen-Ost beekeeping association with regular tours and group tours upon registration complements the extensive park area of the Lür-Kropp-Hof.
Meta-Rödiger-Hochtiedshuus
The courtyard was significantly expanded with the construction of the Meta-Rödiger-Hochtiedshuus in 2000. The building is an official branch of the Bremen registry office. Civil weddings have been taking place in Meta-Rödiger-Hochtiedshuus since April 2001. In 2008 the entire park of the Lür-Kropp-Hof was renovated and a cottage garden was set up.
Lür Kropp Foundation
The Senate founded the Lür-Kropp Foundation on November 21, 2006 . The property on Rockwinkeler Landstrasse and Heerstrasse belonging to the Lür-Kropp-Hof as well as the financial assets become the property of the foundation.
