history

Surname

Sankt-Jürgen-Strasse from 1862 was named after a restaurant from 1602, whose income went to the St. Johannis monastery to help with nursing. The monastery was closed in 1529 after the Reformation and the building was used as a municipal hospital from 1531.

development

The lifting of the gate lock to Bremen's old town and the legal equality of the suburbs with the city citizens in the middle of the 19th century made moving to the suburbs more attractive. As early as 1851, the first clinic building, now a listed building, was built according to plans by building director Alexander Schröder . With the increase in the population in Bremen, the municipal hospital continued to grow in the following years and became the Bremen-Mitte Clinic . In 1889/90 a three-story, clinkered main building for surgery was built and expanded in 1908. In 1929 the hospital building on the corner of Bismarckstrasse was added. In the same year the AfA settlement in Bremen was completed.

During the Second World War , the eastern suburb was one of the parts of the city that was only slightly destroyed by bombing. After the war, the clinic was expanded further, which by 2014 had 854 beds and employed 1579 people. The Bremen City Library opened the first patient library in the central hospital in 1966.
In 2019, an extensive new building project for the clinic on Bismarckstrasse will be completed. The hospital area between Am Schwarzen Meer, Stankt-Jürgen-Straße, Bismarckstraße and Friedrich-Karl-Straße of around 13 hectares is to be rebuilt according to a master plan .

traffic

The Bremen tram touches the street with line 2 ( Gröpelingen - Sebaldsbrück ), line 3 (Gröpelingen - Weserwehr ) and line 10 (Gröpelingen - Hauptbahnhof - Sebaldsbrück). Parts of this route have existed since the opening of the Great Bremen Horse Railway in 1879, and the route has been electrified since 1900.

In 1936, a branch of line 10 through St.-Jürgen-Straße and Bismarckstraße to Friedrich-Karl-Straße was opened. The section through Bismarckstrasse was not rebuilt after the Second World War, so the stop in front of the municipal hospitals in Sankt-Jürgen-Strasse became the terminus. Line 10 discontinued the section through St.-Jürgen-Straße in 1963 and, coming from Steintor, continued like line 2 to the Bennigsenstraße stop.

In transport in Bremen , the bus lines here 22 ( Kattenturm - University ) and 25 ( Weidedamm - Osterholz ) and VBN -Regiobuslinien 730 (Bremen central station - Otterstedt ) and 740 (Bremen central station - Verden ).

The closest stops are Sankt-Jürgen-Straße, Am Hulsberg, Friedrich-Karl-Straße and Klinikum Bremen-Mitte.
