history

Surname

The street is named after its location on the Bremen city fortifications in the Neustadt from 1623 to 1627 with the Neustadtswall (inside), a ditch and the Contrescarpe (outside) as a ditch boundary opposite, accompanied by a path.

development

The Alte Neustadt was laid out as a planned expansion of the city in the 17th century on the left side of the Weser and surrounded with fortifications. The fortifications from 1623/27 were removed from 1805. The area of ​​the Old New Town was initially only very sparsely populated.

The Neustadtswallanlagen should now rather serve as building land. In the western part a simple landscape was created, the other areas were garden land. Since 1815 - in contrast to the Bremen ramparts on the privileged right side of the Weser - more and more areas have been taken up by buildings and traffic areas. From the middle of the 19th century, the building on the street increased sharply. The barracks at Hohentor and from 1866 the Neustadt barracks at Neustadtscontrescarpe for the Bremen city military were built . This was followed by more residential buildings, two schools, a hospital building, the south indoor swimming pool and the expansion of the Bremen University of Applied Sciences . The moat was filled in by 1903. The value of the green space for the population in the Neustadt was only recognized late.

The air raids in 1944/45 destroyed parts of the old new town ; this road was partially affected. In 1951/52 the Hohentorspark came . The Centaurenbrunnen stood on Schwachhauser Heerstrasse in 1891. In 1958 he was moved to the green area near Leibnizplatz. From 1998 to 2007, the Bremen environmental company carried out extensive renovations of the 16 hectare park.

traffic

The Bremen tram touches the street through line 4 ( Lilienthal - Domsheide - Arsten) on Buntentorsteinweg. It crosses the street on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße with line 6 (University - Airport) and on Langemarckstraße with lines 1 (Huchting - Am Brill - Mahndorf) and line 8 (Huchting - Domsheide - Kulenkampffallee ).

In local transport in Bremen, bus routes 26 ( Huckelriede - Walle ), 27 (Huckelriede - Findorff / Weidedamm ) and 63 (Hauptbahnhof ↔ Güterverkehrszentrum (GVZ)) touch the street on Langemarckstraße.

Buildings, plants

On the street are u. a. three to four-story post-war buildings.
