history

Free port 1960

The silting up of the Weser made shipping traffic difficult in the 17th century. In order to bring shipping traffic back into the city, Bremen built the Europahafen as Freeport I from 1887 and a correction to the Weser took place (1887–1895). Other docks followed, most recently the overseas port in 1906. The Bremen ports were badly damaged in the Second World War. After 1945 the port facilities were quickly rebuilt.

Shed 2 is the oldest surviving shed in the Bremen port area and is located on the south side of the Europahafen. In the south-west facade of the elongated building, a four-storey office building is integrated roughly in the middle, which towers above the single-storey warehouse.

Due to the lack of building materials and a short construction period, steel profiles from demolished pre-war sheds and steel supplies were used for another structure. The reconstruction was based on the earlier; two-row arrangement of scales dispensed with. Further new storage facilities on the south quay of the Europahafen were not used, as the functions of sheds and storage facilities did not have to be closely linked locally, and more traffic space was required for trains and trucks. The crane runway of the dismantled semi-portal cranes is still on the waterside .

After 1964/1968, the port drive of the Bremen ports increasingly shifted to the north, to the Neustadt ports and to Bremerhaven. Until 2007, renovations and conversions were carried out according to plans by Hilmes and Lamprecht as well as ASP - Atelier Schreckenberg (open space) on 6,900 m² for various uses, including as an event center as well as for offices, trade, shops and exhibitions.
