history

Surname

The street was named in 1905 after the poplars ( Populus ) in the willow family (Salicaceae). There were large poplars in the nearby old Schützenhof.

development

The area on the left bank of the Weser south of the old town was previously referred to as Süderort and later as Neustadt. From 1623 the fortifications were built to the left of the Weser and removed from 1802. It was not until after 1870 that roads and houses were built in Mittel-Kamp in Feldmark Neuenlande ( Nielandt ) in the Obervihlandt area . In 1873 the Pappelstrasse was laid out. It got its name in 1905 after the poplars planted there as an avenue . The Neustadt now expanded to Neuenlander Strasse . Increased development took place around 1900 to 1914 in the river district. The preserved school on Oderstrasse was built in 1909 as a primary school. The air raids in 1944/45 destroyed parts of the Alte Neustadt and many houses were also destroyed in the northwestern area of ​​Pappelstraße, so that this area was now characterized by post-war buildings. The actors of the Pappelstrasse and the river district have been meeting regularly for network meetings in Pappelstrasse since 2018. The move to the Bremen Freimarkt starts annually from Pappelstrasse.

traffic

A large area south of the Hohentore was bought in 1849 by the "Bremer Schützenverein von 1843". The new Schützenhof was built here, one of the largest in Germany. Around 1860 there were only two streets here: the old street to Oldenburg, today Hohentorsheerstrasse, and the Neuenlander Strasse. In 1873 the later Pappelstrasse was laid across today's Hohentorsheerstrasse. At that time it was probably a dirt road that led through the Schützenhof area and was planted with poplar trees.

At the end of the 19th century, the old Schützenhof could no longer be financially viable. The entire area was sold and built on in the peripheral areas, the parts required for shooting were leased back until 1905. In 1905, the path laid out in 1873 was named "Pappelstraße" and was expanded to become a street, and houses were soon built on. For a few years, Pappelstrasse led from Hakenburger Strasse to Kirchweg, and around 1911 the part east of Bachstrasse was renamed Gastfeldstrasse. Later (after 1927) the short stretch between Bachstrasse and Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse came back to Pappelstrasse.

The short stretch of Pappelstrasse west of Neckarstrasse was built over with Bundesstrasse 75 in the 1960s, and Hakenburger Strasse disappeared from the city map. Later, probably in the 1980s, a noise barrier was built here .

The Pappelstraße was also used by the Bremen tram:

  • In 1905 the tram (from 1908 line 6, today line 1) reached the intersection of Meterstrasse (now Langemarckstrasse) and the corner of Pappelstrasse.
  • In 1914, the tram on line 5 reached the Friedrich-Ebert-Straße / Gastfeldstraße junction.
  • In 1924 a line was opened through the eastern Pappelstrasse, which connected lines 5 and 6 as the "Neustadtring".
  • In 1939 the western part of Pappelstrasse was also used up to Hohentorsheerstrasse. At that time, line 15 first ran from Schwachhausen to Neustadt, here through Pappelstrasse and then over the then new West Bridge to Walle.
  • In 1958, the route through Pappelstrasse was extended eastward into Gastfeldstrasse.
  • In 1964 the connection through the western part of Pappelstrasse was discontinued. Since the Westbrücke had never been used by trams again after 1945, passenger demand on this branch had become too low.
  • In 1967 the tram service was also discontinued in the eastern Pappelstrasse, including the extension to Gastfeldstrasse which had only opened nine years earlier. Since then, local transport has been driven by buses. The route in the eastern Pappelstrasse will remain as an operating route and for diversions.
  • In 2001 the operating line was also given up, and after 77 years there were no more trams running on Pappelstrasse.

In today's local traffic in Bremen , the Pappelstrasse is only crossed by trams; buses run through the eastern part.
