history

The original population of the Schnoor consisted mainly of river fishermen and boatmen. In the epoch of classicism and historicism , most of the often small buildings were built from around 1800 to 1890. In the further course it became a poor people's quarter, which largely fell into disrepair - especially after the Second World War . In 1959 the city passed a statute for the protection of the building stock worth preserving. The houses have been documented and many have been listed as historical monuments since the 1970s. From the 1960s onwards, with the support of the city, renovations, gap closings and renovations took place in the Schnoor.

The three-story, plastered house with a gable roof was built as a warehouse in 1845 in the era of historicism . Mainly tobacco was stored here. The ports of Bremen and the tobacco industry relocated to the west and a storage facility at this location no longer made sense. In 1924 the house was therefore converted into a residential building. All the old ceiling hatches had to be closed. In 1976 the house was extensively renovated and rebuilt. The inner walls on the first and second floors were removed and new beams transferred the loads to the outer walls. In the attic, apartments were installed with later roof cores that would later be disruptive to the design. The house forms a design unit with the striking residential building at Franziskanerstraße 5 from after 1837.
Today (2018) the house is used for living.

The short Hohe Straße with the buildings that were already taller in Schnoor at that time leads to Franziskanerstraße. The name Schnoor ( Snoor ) means cord: It came from the ship's trade and the manufacture of ropes and ropes (= cord).
