Black Sea (Bremen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Black Sea ( Plattdeutsch Swarte Meer ) was an oxbow lake from the Weser on the edge of the Pagentorn Feldmark in Bremen , after which the street Am Schwarzen Meer in the eastern suburb was named.

origin

It is not known exactly where the former right arm of the Weser, from which the Black Sea later developed, ran. It was probably one of the originally numerous side arms of the river in the Weser lowlands on the edge of the Bremen dune  - similar to the Balge or the Dobben . At some point this branch was cut off from the main stream by natural changes and turned into an inland lake (in Low German referred to as the sea ), later into a swamp . The name Peterswerder (a district of the eastern suburb) is also explained in this context : It was once a river island ( Werder ), which was formerly south of the dune ridge between the Weser and what later became the Black Sea .

The Landstrasse / Heerstrasse

The old country road to Verden and Hamburg led through the Black Sea area , beginning at the Ostertor, over the Dobben near the stone tower and on to the Segelsbrugge (in today's Sebaldsbrück ). The road was in poor condition in the 18th century, which is why the Bremen council ordered in 1770 that Herr Rheder (the Rhederkasse) should pay for the construction of a stone path through the Black Sea . The Pagentorn farmers were obliged to deliver sand and stones and to maintain the road. In 1771 the road was raised and ditches and trees were added.

From 1837 the parade ground of the Bremen city military was located near the Black Sea  - but it was abandoned again in 1839 because the area was too boggy. According to Franz Buchenau's Flora von Bremen from 1887, common pill fern grew on the "boggy ditches" of the Black Sea , which thrives on sandy muddy bottoms on lake shores, pond edges and ditches.

There was also a well-known inn on the street, to which a verse from an old Bremen song alludes:

Scher, Scher, where do you buy that slacker weer from? I came from Swarten Meer, where I found Köm un Beer .
(Scher, Scher, where are you from in this muddy weather? I come from the Black Sea, there is grain and beer there.)

At the Black Sea

The street Am Schwarzen Meer in the districts of Peterswerder and Hulsberg is reminiscent of the old field name . It lies between the intersection of Vor dem Steintor  / St.-Jürgen-Strasse and the corner of Friedrich-Karl-Strasse  / Am Hulsberg . It got its current name on September 18, 1906 - according to Monika Porsch, the name could also be derived from the former inn on the old country road, called Zur Schwarzen Mehre .

The cross streets and connecting streets were named u. a. than before the stone gate of the former stone gate on Dobben, Luneburg street, Sankt-Jürgen-Straße of 1862 for a restaurant, Myrtenstraße of 1874 after the plant, Oranienstraße of 1874 after the Orange , At Long seawall, formerly the Paulines march proceeded , Hoyaer Straße, carefree from 1861 for a group of small houses, Arberger Straße, unnamed street, Hemelinger Straße , Verdener Straße, Friedrich-Karl-Straße after the Prussian Prince Friedrich Karl and Am Hulsberg after the district and this after the holly trees that used to grow there , which were also referred to as sleeves or sleeves .

development

In 1870 and 1880 linden trees were planted by the road. In 1884 the free elementary school Freischule Am Schwarzen Meer was built on Heerstraße (today Am Schwarzen Meer No. 15) , adjoining it in 1897 a teachers' seminar was set up on Hamburger Straße , which was converted into a postgraduate school in 1922 , which later became the grammar school on Hamburger Straße emerged. The Institute for Pathology at the Bremen-Mitte Clinic , built in 1870, is located on the Black Sea at No. 134-136. In 1900 a home for women who had recently given birth was opened in house No. 138 , which lasted until 1943.

From 1879 the horse tram on the Red Line between Hastedt and Doventor ran through the street . In 1900 the line was electrified. Today, lines 2 and 10 of the Bremen tram run on the Gröpelingen –Sebaldsbrück route through the Black Sea .

From the 1870s onwards, predominantly two-story residential buildings and three to four -story residential buildings and residential and commercial buildings were built on the street after the Second World War . Noteworthy are u. a .:

  • No. 1 to 13: Seven 2- to 3-tiered plastered residential and commercial buildings from around 1900
