The Lesumbrok pumping station is located in Bremen , Burglesum district, Werderland district, Lesumbroker Landstrasse 122 on Lesumdeich . It was built until 1872 according to plans by the chief construction director and hydraulic engineering director of the Bremen construction department, Friedrich Rudolph Theodor Berg. Along with the Sielgraben, it has been a listed building in Bremen since 2013 .
history
The water pumping station with the single-storey, clinkered pump house and the steam drainage system with a gable roof was built in 1870/72 in the era of historicism for the sewage association for the field brands Mittelbüren , Niederbüren, Lesumbrok and Dungen as an association of owners and farmers (later Lesumbroker Sielacht ). The development of the district was only possible through the draining of the swamps.
With the construction of the former Lesumbrok drainage station (also a pumping station for Nieder-Werderland ), the drainage ditches were also expanded or renewed, such as the main drainage canal and supply canal at Mittelbürener Sielgraben , now Lesumbroker Sielgraben , and the associated sewer .
The State Office for Monument Preservation Bremen wrote: “... The drainage facility, the sluice and the Sielgraben document a decisive stage in the history of artificial drainage, but also the irrigation of the Werderland, which has a trough-shaped surface and is largely below sea level . "
