history

Surname

Lindenhofstraße was named after the old part of the village and this after Gut Lindenhof . Before the incorporation in 1902, the village street had no street names and the house numbers were valid for the whole village.

development

Before 1900, the village had the paved village road and sandy dirt roads. The six hectare Meyer'sche estate (formerly No. 147) belonged to the tobacco merchant Eberhard Tölken, who in 1888 designed the landscape park with manor house based on plans by Wilhelm Benque . From 1890 to 1900 the cotton merchant Eduard Meyer was the owner of the estate and he named it Lindenhof. In 1893 the Breuer travelers inn was built ; today the Lindenhof Center is located here. At the beginning of the street (formerly No. 148) was Pastor Dietr's Johannis penal institution. Cook.

The expansion of the ports and the location of Werft AG Weser changed the place extensively. In 1905 building contractors bought Gut Lindenhof, laid roads and built on it since 1906. The Lindenhof district now became a typical working-class neighborhood for the employees. Sielers Ballhaus was a very important cultural meeting place from 1900 to 1933 and the Robert Stammhaus of the KPD in Bremen from 1945 to 1956 . In the Second World War in Gröpelingen great destruction took place. Today (2019) the district has around 8,000 inhabitants. With the arrival of guest workers and other immigrants since the 1960s, it has developed into a multicultural district. The closure of AG Weser in 1983 was a decisive event. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the district has also been preferred as a place of residence by students and artists. An international storytelling festival,
the Traces of Fire, has been taking place in Lindenhofstrasse since 2007 and attracts several thousand visitors every year. In 2008 the Lindenhofcenter was built.

traffic

In the west of Bremen, line 3 was extended to AG Weser (today: Use Akschen stop) in 1921 or 1924 and in 1945/49 to today's terminus at Debstedter Straße / Depot. The tram line 11 ran from 1926 to 1970 from Gröpelingen (AG Weser and depot from 1945/49) to Norddeutsche Hütte (Klöckner-Werke). The Gröpelingen depot has also existed since 1926 and has been the western terminus for line 2 since then. Line 10 was gradually extended from Waller Bahnhof through Gröpelingen.

The Bremen tram touches the street with lines 2 (Gröpelingen - Sebaldsbrück ) and 10 (Gröpelingen - Hauptbahnhof - Sebaldsbrück).

In local transport in Bremen, the bus lines 660 (Bremen Hbf - Hagen ) and 680 (Bremen - Wallhöfen ) touch the road.
