history
The Carl FW Borgward automobile group also included Bremer Lloyd-Motoren-Werke as well as the Borgward , Hansa and Goliath brands . Hansa-Lloyd existed since 1914 and was re-established as Lloyd Maschinenfabrik in Bremen- Hastedt in 1949 . They made small cars. It was mockingly rhymed: "If you are not afraid of death, drive Lloyd". In 1951 the plant moved to Richard-Dunkel-Strasse in Neustadt. New workshops were built here by 1960. In 1961 the Borgward company went bankrupt.
The one- and two-storey, 212 meter long and 62 meter wide factory building with shed roofs in the middle area of the production hall and flat roofs over the two head buildings was built in 1953/54 for the Lloyd-Motoren-Werke by the construction company Wayss & Freytag . The administrative area and some parapets were given yellow-faced facades, which are otherwise dominated by the ribbon windows and the open corridors, structured by the stairwells and entrances. There were six assembly lines in the hall.
The State Office for Monument Preservation Bremen writes: “... The roof structure of the assembly hall with sheds and especially their curvature determine the overall impression of the hall interior. They document in a special way the high artistic demands of the architect Rudolf Lodders on industrial architecture. "
In 1961 the Siemens Group took over the buildings and land. Lloyd Arabella car production continued in some halls until 1963 . In the spare parts plant from 1959, Lloyd Motoren Werke, which had emerged from bankruptcy, was located until 1989 and produced spare parts, later special motors and finally supplied automotive parts.
Today (2018) the halls are used by various companies (including Lloyd-Garagen Grundstücksgesellschaft, Doden Armaturen, EKB Container Logistik, W. & L. Jordan GmbH, Allmende).
The Hamburg architect Lodders also planned the Goliath House by Borgward at Hastedter Osterdeich 222 in Bremen.
