history

The representative, five-storey, nine-axle office building from 1925 on the east side of Hafenkopf II (today a filled-in overseas port) based on plans by Ohnesorge, Oehring and Müller from the Bremen Building Authority was built in the particularly vulnerable port area for the Bremen police force, which was newly founded in 1920 .

The symmetrical building above the basement, conservatively designed with pilasters and a striking eaves cornice , originally had a hipped roof and a clock tower ridge turret . After war damage, the roof was replaced as a flat roof. The expressionistic interior details (including the staircase) correspond to contemporary modern forms.

At the same time, the Stader Strasse barracks and the barracks at the Rotersand customs gate in Bremerhaven were built.

The State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Bremen found: "In terms of the building typology and its prominent position at the head of the port, the police service building is in the tradition of the older port head building at Port I (Europahafen), which was inaugurated in 1888 and which is iconic with its distinctive clock tower and destroyed in the war."

The current office building will u. a. used by the Hanseatic City of Bremen Port Authority , the Bremen ship reporting service and an insurance company.
