history

The two-storey, upper-class house with its two side bay windows and balconies as well as a hipped roof was built in 1911 at the turn of the century for the rich barrel manufacturer Gustav Louis Mundhenke (1869-1930).

In 1956 the Johannisloge Zum Oelzweig bought the house from 1788. It is the oldest and most important Masonic lodge in Bremen. In 1971 an extension with a large ballroom was built for the lodge. The equipment and inventory are remarkable. Important documents from the history of the Freemasons in Bremen are kept here.
