The Landrat-Christians-Straße is a historical street in east-west direction in Bremen in the district of Blumenthal . It leads from Weserstrandstrasse to Lindenstrasse and in the direction of Vegesack parallel to the Weser .

The cross streets were u. a. named after the Clüver family of knights, after people (Wolfgang Schering (1900–1963) chief physician at the Bremen-Nord Clinic ; Nicolaus-H. Schilling), after locations (Zur Weserpier, Am Forst, Wohld = Wald, Lüssumer Straße after the historic location Lüssum , field name Leverkenbarg after Leverker = larch) and the Kaffeestraße is reminiscent of smuggling before the customs connection in the 19th century.

history

Surname

The street was named in 1952 after the educator and district administrator Ludwig Christians (1875-1940). Christians was a teacher from 1902 to 1920, school inspector for the Bremen elementary schools in 1920 and from 1920 to 1932 district administrator of the Blumenthal district . The National Socialists imprisoned him for several months in 1933 and put him into early retirement.

development

The area belonged to the Archdiocese of Bremen in the Middle Ages, to the Swedish Duchy of Bremen since 1654, to the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg in 1715, to the Kingdom of Hanover since 1814 , to Prussia since 1866 and to Bremen since 1939. Among other things, in the vicinity of Blomendal Castle from the 13th century, road connections were created near the Weser.

The old church on the road dates from 1604; the tower is still preserved. The tower has been used as a memorial to the fallen since 1933. The larger Evangelical Reformed Church was built here in 1879 .

Since 1830 the Bremen merchant and shipowner Diedrich Heinrich Wätjen had started to build a classicist country house, surrounded by Wätjens Park as an English landscape garden based on plans by Isaak Altmann . His son Christian Heinrich Wätjen had a castle-like villa built on the site of the country house: Wätjen's Castle ; the park got bigger.

In 1884 merchants from Bremen founded the Bremen Wool Combing (BWK). This changed the structure in the previously rural town significantly. Production started with 150 workers. 2000 workers were employed in 1896; many came from the Polish areas of Prussia. By 1930 the number of workers rose to 3700 and then up to a maximum of 5000. In 2009 production was stopped.

The independent Prussian community of Blumenthal experienced a great boom around 1900 through the BWK. The number of residents increased sharply. Around 1900 the community office was housed in a small private house. In 1907 an office room was rented in a building opposite the bakery. A town hall was required and came in 1910 as a red stone-faced new building. From 1946 the Blumenthal local authority was located in the town hall .

In 1916 the eastern part of Wätjens Park was sold to the Bremer Vulkan shipyard , the eastern part to the BWK; the garden went wild.

traffic

The Bremen-Farge – Bremen -Vegesack railway was opened in 1888 by the Farge-Vegesacker Railway (FVE). The regional S-Bahn Bremen / Lower Saxony has existed since 2010 and also serves the Blumenthal station with the S-Bahn line RS 1 in the direction of Bremen-Mitte / Verden and in the direction of Farge .

In transport in Bremen travel on this road, the bus lines 90, 91 and 92 and the lines 95, 96 and 97th
