Theodor-Billroth-Straße was named after the important surgeon Theodor Billroth (1829-1894).

He is widely regarded as the founder of modern abdominal surgery and the pioneer of larynx surgery and bacteriology .

development

The Vieland was a flat, swampy land that was partially cultivated from 1201. Bremen gained state rights in the 14th century. In 1812 Kattenturm only had up to 15 inhabitants. The district of Kattenturm was shaped like a village before 1960, but today (2009) has 13,029 inhabitants. In 1962 Obervieland became a district. Theodor-Billroth-Straße became the central thoroughfare with the center for the town and district as part of the building development in the 1960s. The Links der Weser Clinic of the City of Bremen was built in the southern area from 1968 .

traffic

The then tram line 1 (since 1998 line 4) was extended from Arsterdamm to Kattenturm and Arsten in 1973 .

The Bremen tram runs today with line 4 ( Arsten - Lilienthal ) partly next to the street.

In local transport in Bremen, the road runs through bus lines 51 (Huckelriede ↔ Kattenturm Klinikum Links der Weser), 53 (Huckelriede ↔ Brinkum). The center can also be reached by bus lines 22 (Kattenturm-Mitte ↔ Universität-Ost), 29 (Kattenturm-M. ↔ Neue Vahr) and 52 (Huchting ↔ Kattenturm).
