The North Road is a historic street in Bremen in the district Walle , districts and Steffenswegund Walle. It leads in a south-westerly - north-easterly - direction out of town from Hans-Böckler-Straße / Hansestraße to Bremerhavener Straße / Emder Straße. It is part of the street that runs northeast along the port area and is therefore often referred to as the port road .

It is divided into the sub-areas:

  • Hansestrasse to Waller Ring and
  • Waller Ring to Emder Straße.

The cross streets were u. a. named as Grenzstraße (1868) after the border between the field marks Utbremen and Walle, Heimatstraße (1887) after the home of the new residents, Elisabethstraße (1874) after the first name, Eintrachtstraße (1887) after the residents' wish to live here in harmony, Wiedstraße (1911) after the low-lying pastures , Friedenstraße after the residents wanted to live here in peace, Bogenstraße (1911) after the arched course, Columbustraße after Christopher Columbus , Überseetor (2002) as a reminder of the former overseas port from 1906 to 1998, Waller Ring , which is connected to the Utbremer Ring and the Osterfeuerberger Ring, port side after a seafaring name typical of Bremen for the left side of a ship seen from stern to bow; otherwise see the link to the streets.

Nordstraße is the street with the ninth highest house number (No. 425).

development

In 1841 the first part of Nordstrasse was laid out and named that way. Today's Hans-Böckler-Strasse , which was named that way in 1951 , also belonged to this part . In 1848 the Feldmark Utbremen was incorporated and in 1885 the rural community Walle became the city of Bremen. In 1870 the north road could be expanded further. To the west, towards the Weser, the Europahafen was built in 1887 and the Überseehafen in 1906. On Nordstrasse and its cross streets, apartments were built as rental and row houses for the factory and port workers.

The residential area Waller Wied or home neighborhood called, between North Road and port fence, emerged from 1889 very close to the factory of the Bremer jute . Working-class families - many from the east - settled in the new workers' houses. In 1944 the quarter was destroyed. Reconstruction began here in 1950.

After the First World War , other social housing buildings were built. Walle and Gröpelingen were typical working class suburbs and strongholds of the SPD and KPD

In the air raids on Bremen in 1944 around 25,000 apartments were destroyed in Walle. The reconstruction of the destroyed district took place largely in the 1960s and 1970s.

After the Second World War , Heinz Hermann Gerdes built a restaurant - the legendary Golden City . Then came u. a. the bamboo bar and crocodile . A small scene of night life developed in the area near the port. Soon there were around 40 pubs and bars in the 1950s and 1960s, where dock workers, seafarers and the “demi-world” met. The coast , as it was called, became the former entertainment district at the Bremen harbor. Bamboo bar, (today Happy Night), elephant and crocodile still exist (as of 2017). A new cultural project, the mobile harbor bar “Golden City” in Überseestadt , was brought to life in 2013.

In September 1976, the Bremen Horticultural Department, later Stadtgrün Bremen , planted 16,000 daffodil bulbs in the shape of a maritime catfish wave on the slope slope on Nordstrasse . 26 yellow blooming waves have been seen over a length of 400 meters since 1977. The Waller Welle experienced new momentum during a sponsored replanting campaign in 2015, carried out by students from the Oberschule Helgolander Straße , the Oberschule am Waller Ring , the Gesamtschule West (GSW) and the school on Vegesacker Straße.

traffic

The first horse-drawn tram line of the Great Bremen Horse-drawn Railway on Nordstrasse ran in 1881 as a circular railway through the street (Nordstrasse - Markt - Am Dobben - Bahnhof - Kaiserstrasse (Bgm.-Smidt-Strasse)). The electrification of the railway took place around the turn of the century. In 1908 the line numbers from 1 to 8 were introduced, here as line 3. In the west of Bremen, line 3 ran from the city center to AG Weser since 1924 . The tram Bremen wrong since then with the tram lines 3 on the North Road.
