history

Hastedt has been a rural municipality of Bremen since 1803 and was incorporated into the city of Bremen in 1902.

The Malerstraße was built in the open field east of the village. The exact date of its creation is unknown, as is the origin of the name. Your original endpoints were:

  • the Alte Postweg, this has existed for a long time as a route from Hastedt to the east, on a map from 1804 the area north of the Alte Postweg was still used for agriculture and divided into long, narrow plots of land for various Hastedt farmers.
  • The Hastedter Heerstraße , built in this area in 1812 as a military connecting road with a new route.

Probably around 1850 one of the landowners built a row of houses on his property. Around 1850 there was already a narrow path about three meters wide between these two streets as a precursor to Malerstraße, at that time this path was only built on one side.

In the 1880s or 1890s, the narrow path from 1850 was expanded into a ten meter wide, paved road. The opposite side of the street has now also been built on. However, in contrast to almost all other old buildings in Bremen at the time, neither side of the street received any front gardens. Street trees were also not planted. The face of the street had hardly changed until World War II.

In the Bremen address book from 1884, which also contained Hastedt for the first time, Malerstrasse is listed with the house numbers 22 to 35 and 42 to 71. The gaps were already kept open for an extension at that time. Cigar makers lived in more than a third of these houses. The restaurant "Die Herberge zur Heimat", known as the pub of the "guilds", was only built later. The restaurant "Zur Wehrbrücke" on the corner of Alter Postweg was opened around 1911 at the same time as the Weserwehr.

In 1903 Malerstraße was extended a short distance south to Pfalzburger Straße. In 1925 a further extension was made to the Hastedter Osterdeich, but here initially only as a cinder path for pedestrians, cyclists and handcarts. The so-called “weir bridge” on the Weser weir could be reached via this bridge, and from 1939 also the then new terminal of the tram.

As early as the time of National Socialism , it was stipulated as part of the motorway planning that the houses on the west side of Malerstraße and the south side of Pfalzburger Straße may not be built or expanded, as the two streets should be widened. First, however, came the Second World War . Because of the armaments factories, the side of which directly bordered the southern Malerstraße, this part of Hastedt was bombed particularly often, many houses were bombed. After the Second World War, only the eastern side of Malerstrasse was rebuilt.

The Hayungs laundry facility in a large building complex with glass roofs had been located on Drakenburger Strasse since around 1913. Malerstraße, with its part, which was extended in 1925, ran along the rear of the street. On October 12, 1944, the laundry was destroyed in a major attack and never rebuilt. 22 Polish women who were forcibly employed there were killed in a makeshift bunker. Her remains have never been recovered. After 1945, Malerstraße became a street in this area too. In 1959, the Hastedt Church of the Resurrection was built on the former laundry site between Drakenburgerstrasse and Malerstrasse, which also has an entrance from Malerstrasse. The future width of the street of 36 meters was already planned in the construction phase. Because of the future traffic noise, the church had no windows to the east, instead opaque glass walls and a glass roof.

Since the 1960s, the then newly built Hemelingen motorway feeder has been leading traffic from the A1 motorway through Pfalzburger Straße, which has been expanded from a small residential street to the motorway feeder, right to Malerstraße and ends there. Initially, only the southern Malerstraße was expanded into the Osterdeich . In the north, the four-lane expansion did not take place until the end of 1969, and then only initially as far as the Alte Postweg.

In the old part of Malerstraße there was still an old restaurant building that stood in the way of expansion.This was still a one-way street to the south, to the north the traffic forced its way through an even narrower one-way street, namely the Weserdamm, which was then constantly blocked. Finally, it was decided to expand the Malerstraße / Hastedter Heerstraße intersection very spaciously, so that in addition to widening the street, there was also space for several commercial buildings. For this, other preserved old buildings had to be demolished in the crossing area, such as For example, the two-story corner house at Hastedter Heerstraße 261 at the corner of Malerstraße with the family business of the Woltjes bakery, which announced in April 1975: “Due to urban planning measures, we are unfortunately forced to give up our bakery that has been operating here for 93 years.” In 1975 at the earliest, Malerstraße was completely expanded and connected to Stresemannstrasse.

traffic

The Bremen tram has touched the northern end of Malerstraße since 1879, today lines 2 and 10 ( Gröpelingen - Sebaldsbrück ) with the “Malerstraße” stop run here . Line 3 (Gröpelingen - Weserwehr ) has its end and turning point at the Fleetrade with the stop “Weserwehr”. Since 1976, Bremen local transport bus lines have also ended here , today lines 40 and 41 ( Mahndorf ↔ Weserwehr station) and 42 (Hansalinie ↔ Weserwehr industrial park).

There are currently plans to build a tram route through Malerstrasse, but the prerequisite for this would be the laying of the district heating pipes installed in this area.

Buildings and facilities

There are mainly two and three-story houses on the street. Many houses were built after 1950.
