history

Surname

The Schwachhauser Ring was named after the district and the ring road system (see below).

development

The district Schwachhausen with 3583 inhabitants today (2009) is about 60% in the area of ​​the Pagenthorner Feldmark and 40% in the old demarcation of the village Schwachhausen. A small village center formed in the 16./17. Century in the area of ​​Schwachhauser Heerstraße and Schwachhauser Ring. In 1803 Schwachhausen came to Bremen as a rural area with 206 inhabitants. Bremen merchants built their country houses here and from around 1850 their villas. In 1902 Schwachhausen was incorporated and by 1925 the district was populated up to the Schwachhauser Ring.

Neu-Schwachhausen and Riensberg are districts north of the Schwachhauser Ring, most of which arose after the Second World War from 1960.

traffic

The traffic planning of the 1860s / 1870s by construction director Alexander Schröder envisaged a ring road ( Schröderring ) around the core of the city, to which Waller Ring , Osterfeuerberger Ring, Utbremer Ring , Schwachhauser Ring, Kirchbachstraße and Stader Straße belonged and which, except for the part in the Bürgerpark. The generous planning in the ring road concept led to a wide avenue with clearly set back buildings and a special urban quality.

The Bremen tram crosses the street with line 6 ( University - Airport ) and 8 ( Huchting - Kulenkampffallee). Lines 1 (Huchting - Mahndorf train station ) and 4 ( Lilienthal - Arsten ) touch the street on Schwachhauser Heerstraße.

In transport in Bremen bus lines 22 (passes through Kattenturm -Mitte ↔ University) the road.

Buildings and facilities

The street as an avenue is predominantly built up with one to two-story villas and residential houses from the 1900s to 1930s and from the period after the Second World War in the 1960s to 1980s. Many houses have hip roofs, a few pitched roofs and a few flat roofs.
