The square was named after the economist , politician ( USPD / SPD ), publicist and Reich Minister of Finance Rudolf Hilferding (1877–1941).
Streets in the square
The streets on the square were named as Contrescarpe after the Contrescarpe as the opposite ditch boundary of the medieval Bremen city fortifications , Auf der Brake to Brake as a scour at the Herdentor , which was created in 1677 by a break in a Weser sluice with the turret Der Bär zum Stadtgraben , Schillerstraße after the Poet Friedrich Schiller and Richtweg (?).
development
Since the Middle Ages, a city wall has enclosed the land side , from 1602/1611 the city fortifications with bastions and since 1811 the Bremen ramparts have enclosed Bremen's old town. Houses have been built on the Contrescarpe since 1803. Parts of today's square were part of the Bremen ramparts.
From 1928 to 1930, a North Wool office building was built on the new place. After their bankruptcy (1931), the financial administration of the German Reich took over the building in 1934 . After 1945 it became the seat of the military government. From 1947 the Bremen tax authorities took over the building. The Siemens high- rise was built in 1965, the Contrescarpe Center in 2006.
The tram lines 4, 6 and 8 and the bus lines 24 and 25 pass in Bremen on the nearby Herdentorsteinweg .
