Geography and districts

Woltmershausen

Woltmershauser Strasse (right: Weser dike, with Ladestrasse), 2009

Area: 3.25 km², 10,796 inhabitants

Woltmershausen's origins go back to prehistoric times. The name refers to the settlement of a landlord named Woltmer (Woldemar). In the 18th century there were six full courtyards, three Kötner and a few Brinkitzer and house residents . The population was about 300.

Woltmershausen belonged to the Niedervieland and was located behind the Weser dike. In 1666 the people of Bremen burned the village down when the city was besieged by the Swedes because it was in the fortress area; During the reconstruction, some parts of the house were raised to protect against flooding, others were not allowed to be built again. Only the more distant Kamphof has been preserved, of which an old row of linden trees in the Woltmershauser Friedhof and the street name Kamphofer Damm still testify.

The structure changed in the 19th century. Shipbuilding was initially carried out on the banks of the Weser , but other industries were only reluctantly found. The number of inhabitants increased steadily , shops, restaurants and businesses developed on Woltmershauser Straße .

Due to the proximity of the port, sawmills and planing mills were built by the timber dealers. Larger industrial plants also settled in Woltmershausen, such as the Woltmershausen gas works and the Martin Brinkmann tobacco factory. South on the street Auf dem Bohnenkamp developed an extensive parcel area. In 1902 Woltmershausen became its own parish (part of Rablinghausen); at the same time the previous village was included as a district in Bremen .

Woltmershausen today has around 11,000 inhabitants with a fairly constant population. Most of the working population are artisans, manual workers and white-collar workers. More than 4,000 people are employed in seven industrial companies.

The entrance to Woltmershausen was marked for decades by a large gasometer at the Neustädter freight yard. It was built in 1954, was the second tallest building after the cathedral and could store more than 100,000 cubic meters of town gas . The tower was green, but the upper part was painted with red and white rectangles based on the Bremen bacon flag . Thirty years later it was torn down again.

Rablinghausen

Area: 1.77 km², 3089 inhabitants

The Rablinghausen village church , which was built as a baroque hall building until 1750 and was rebuilt after being destroyed in the Second World War, is worth seeing . The old farmhouse Westerdeich is remarkable .

history

Surname

The Vieland was mentioned around 1280 as in the vi lande , around 1297 as Vilant and around 1364 as Vylant .
Woltmershausen probably comes from the Saxon settler Woltimar von Liestmunde , who, according to a document from 1083, settled on the Werder to the left of the Weser. The vernacular also says Pusdorf zu Woltmershausen, as the wind probably "blows" a lot here.
Rablinghausen was in 1250 Rat Ring Husen and from 1295 Ratbringhusen . Something similar could probably have been called a family settling there.

1200 to 1900

In 1244 Woltmershausen and 1250 Rablinghausen were first mentioned in a document. The places belonged to the Goh Vieland , which from 1598 was called Niedervieland .
The customs house was built on Warturmer Heerstraße in 1577 , where the toll for the dam over the Ochtum lowlands , which had to be maintained , was raised. It was and is also known as the Storchennest Gasthaus .

Woltmershausen and Rablinghausen were burned down by order of the Bremen council in 1666 in order to get a clear field of fire against the advancing Swedes. Only two courtyards in Rablinghausen remain.

Woltmershausen and Rablinghausen originally belonged to the parish of St. Martini in Bremen . In 1746, Niedervieland established its own parish with the villages of Rablinghausen, Woltmershausen, Lankenau, Strom and Neuenland. In 1750 the new building of a baroque hall church - the Rablinghauser church - was completed. In 1772 Strom and Neuenland left the parish again.

School: The St. Martini congregation was also responsible for the school location, and since 1690 it had maintained a secondary school at the church in Rablinghausen. In 1848 there were three classes with 216 students. Due to the population increase, the school was constantly expanded and in 1891 it had 8 classes.
From 1871 there was also a constantly growing secondary school in the parish on Woltmershauser Straße with 20 classes in 1902. In 1903 a new building was built on Woltmershauser Allee which was destroyed in 1944.

Woltmershausen, Rablinghausen and Lankenau had a total of 660 inhabitants in 1812.

The Neustadtgraben was deepened in 1840. It served to relieve the battles and as a winter harbor.

The Bremen – Oldenburg railway line  - now the border line for Woltmershausen - with the Neustädter Bahnhof was built in 1867. The security harbor got a siding. The structure changed, shipbuilding was carried out on the banks of the Weser, other industries followed.

The new Woltmershauser Canal established a new connection to the Weser from 1873 with the security harbor (from 1900 Hohentorshafen ). Businesses settled here, especially timber companies. The Bremer Lagerhaus Gesellschaft (BLG) was founded here in 1877. The industrial area now expanded to include the Woltmershauser Vordeichsland. The Woltmershauser sandy beach was later removed in favor of the Neustädter Hafen .
The tobacco factory Martin Brinkmann started production in Woltmershausen in 1911 and was the largest employer in the district until it was relocated to Berlin in 1984.

From 1900

At the turn of the century in 1900, Woltmershausen became a place of residence for mainly port and shipyard workers. In Rablinghausen, the village character is retained for longer. The left bank of the Weser with the sandy beach was a popular leisure area for many Bremen residents.

In 1902 Woltmershausen was incorporated into the city of Bremen and in 1921 Rablinghausen was incorporated. In 1905 Woltmershausen, Rablinghausen and Lankenau had 7,473 inhabitants.
In 1905, the new school on Rechtenflether Straße (today elementary school) in Woltmershausen opened with 12 classes. It should be expanded to up to 18 classes and received an extension in 1957.
The neo-Gothic Christ Church on Woltmershauser Strasse was inaugurated in 1906.

Tram line 7 was extended to Rablinghausen-Bakeweg in 1933. The housing welfare institution of the Nazis at Warturmer Platz was established in 1936. The settlement was intended for community strangers with many children who were forcibly committed.

After the Second World War , Woltmershausen had 18,544 inhabitants in 1960. At that time from 1960 to 1962 the Neustädter Hafen was built and a Hanse cog from the 14th century was recovered during dredging work in the Weser .

In 1960 the first construction phase of the school on Butjadinger Strasse in Woltmershausen was completed.
The gas plant was shut down in 1964. The gasometer remained in place until 1984.
In 1965 tram line 7 was shut down and buses took over local public transport.
The Weser-Uferpark from Lankenauer Höft to Rablinghausen was completed in 1972.
In 1981 the ferry connection between Woltmershausen and Gröpelingen / Walle was closed .
With the opening of the Kulturladen Pusdorf in 1982, social and cultural work in the district received new impulses.

The construction of the freight traffic center (GVZ) in 1983 and the expansion of the industrial area strengthened Woltmershausen's business location considerably. By 2008, over 130 companies with over 5,500 employees had settled in the 500 hectare area. The GVZ Entwicklungsgesellschaft founded for this purpose and the Bremer Investitionsgesellschaft (BIG) business development agency represent the interests of area development.

In spring 2013 the ferry connection to the right bank of the Weser was reactivated. In seasonal weekend traffic, the Weser ferry now connects Lakenauer Höft with the Waterfront shopping center in Gröpelingen and Überseestadt .

Transportation

The most important connection for Woltmershausen is bus line 24 (Rablinghausen - Domsheide - Hauptbahnhof - Neue Vahr-Nord ). It replaces line 7 of the Bremen tram , which was discontinued in 1965 and which ran on the same route.

The bus routes 61 (Sandhausen - Strom - Rablinghausen) and 62 (Hasenbüren - Neustädter Hafen - Rablinghausen) only run every hour and are replaced by the ring routes 65 and 66 in the evenings and on weekends. The bus route 63 (GVZ-Hauptbahnhof) runs outside the residential areas and is therefore of little importance for the district.

Streets

The A 281 motorway has been running along the edge of the district since 2008 and connects the freight center with the A1 motorway . The district can be reached via Stromer Straße via two connection points. An extension of the motorway under the Weser to Oslebshausen to the A 27 motorway is planned.

In the district are Woltmershauser road and Rablinghauser highway , the main access roads.

Biking and hiking trails
