The teaching building of the Bremen Seafaring School now serves Faculty 5 (Nature and Technology) and Faculty 1 (Economics) of the Bremen University of Applied Sciences in Neustadt (Bremen) .
history
The Bremen Navigation School from 1798 had to be enlarged to meet the growing demand. The later helmsman school and from 1858 seafaring school had changing locations in the Seefahrt house , in rented rooms, then in the secondary school in Dechanatstraße and on the Wichelnburg and from 1877 in a school building on Neustadtswall, which was destroyed in 1944. After that, lessons were held in barracks and, from 1949, in the school on Elsflether Strasse .
The three or four storey building with a flat roof was built from 1955 to 1958 according to plans by the Bremen architect Bernhard Wessel . The red stone-faced, striking building from the modern age of the post-war period was emphasized in a maritime design by the upper component reminiscent of a command bridge; including the large lecture hall. The designed glass windows in the stairwell come from Werner Rohde .
The small Olbers - Planetarium and Walter Stone Observatory of Olbers Society have been integrated on the top floor.
The bronze sculpture Neptun by the Bremen sculptor Paul Halbhuber with a view of the Weser has stood in front of the entrance on the forecourt since 1958 ; Neptune guards the school and bicycles.
Today (2017) the nautical and economic faculties are located in the building.
Monument protection
In 1998 the building was listed as a Bremen cultural monument.
