history

Surname

The Steffensweg was named after the Sankt Stephan (Low German Sunte Steffen ), because the district used to belong to the responsible parish of St. Stephani and the path led there.

development

The village of Walle was first mentioned in 1139 and in 1179 the court wall of the Lords of Walle .

In 1524 the kerke Sunte Michalis tho Walle was built as Waller Church , Lange Reihe 77. In 1635 the knight Christoph Ludwig Raschen leased the Hof-Walle .

At the western end, with the construction of the free port after 1888, the districts of Steffensweg and Westend developed. The large jute spinning and weaving mill in Bremen on Nordstrasse employed over 2000 workers around 1895 who lived here. The districts of Steffensweg (today around 4,300 inhabitants) and Westend (today around 6,400 inhabitants) were therefore predominantly densely built-up residential areas. In 1885 parts of the rural community of Walle and in 1902 the other areas were incorporated.

By 1905, an elementary school with 16 classes was built on the corner of Steffensweg and Bremerhavener Straße, in 1913 the secondary school, later the Waller Ring school center as a secondary school, and in 1916 the primary school (double school) and later secondary school in Helgolander Straße . In 1899, the entrepreneur Marie Hackfeld donated the Volksbad on Steffensweg, which was destroyed in 1943 and designed by Eduard Gildemeister . The pool was expanded to an indoor pool in 1928 and was now called Hansabad . In 1925, a branch of the reading hall was set up in the west on Steffensweg. From 1932, the unemployed could borrow books for free.

During the Second World War , Walle was largely destroyed in 1943/44. Under the name Western suburbs emerged from 1953 to 1955 in Utbremen, Steffensweg and West by the Gewoba that Bremer Trust and the lap , designed by Max hems , Günther Hafemann , Wilhelm Wortmann , Bernhard Wessel , Werner Hebebrand , Walter Schlempp and Günther marshal a larger, loosened up housing estate.
