Schnoor archive
The Schnoor Archive in the Schnoor in the old town of Bremen was a documentation facility for the development of building history. The archive was founded in 1959 and operated by Wolfgang Loose (1918–2014) and his wife Anneliese Loose-Hartke. It was initially located in the listed buildings Haus Schnoor 21 and 22 designed by Dillschneider in 1964, later until 2004 it was in the Hartke-Haus , Am Landherrnamt 3.
development
Essential material arose in the 1970s from the collaboration with the monument conservator Karl Dillschneider . In connection with a visit to the archive, a tour of the residential building at Stavendamm 15 was offered, on the ground floor of which the inventory of a historic restaurant was exhibited. The archive and house were to form the basis for a private museum. Due to a lack of scientific and financial support, the concept for a museum was not implemented and was later abandoned by the Loose couple for reasons of age. The residential building at Stavendamm 15 was scientifically documented from December 2005 and presented on the Internet as a virtual museum.
In 2004, after the sale of the house at Am Landherrnamt 3, the archive was initially stored. Since March 2007, most of the material in the archive has been in the Bremen Story House in the St. Jakobus Packhaus and some of it is again accessible to the public.
Content
The archive contains drawings of old houses in Schnoor, which were created by Karl Dillschneider, among others, as well as construction plans and newspaper articles. In addition, historical maps, archaeological finds, old photographs and illustrations as well as literature were collected. Part of the original archive also contained correspondence and various documents that are not available to the public for data protection reasons.
