The Vegesacker Bahnhofsplatz is a public square in Vegesack that has the function of a station forecourt and primarily serves as an inner-city traffic junction . Bremen-Vegesack train station is to the east of the square. The Vegesack harbor and the city district Haven Höövt Vegesack lie south. To the west of the square are three-storey residential and commercial buildings and to the east is the large Grohner Düne residential complex with its 55 m high buildings. Various local bus routes in Bremen stop at the square .

history

From 1618 to 1623 the Vegesack harbor was laid out by the city of Bremen. Vegesack came to the Electorate of Hanover in 1741, but the port remained permanently in Bremen. Vegesack became Bremen again in 1803 and only had 1,379 inhabitants in 1812. In the 18th century the population of Vegesack tripled and the city (since 1852) grew to the west. Grohn with the station building remained with Hanover (kingdom or Prussian province) and only became part of Bremen in 1939.

The Bremen-Burg-Bremen-Vegesack railway with its terminus was opened in 1862. The 10.4 kilometer long Bremen-Farge – Bremen-Vegesack railway has supplemented the route network in Bremen-Nord since 1888/89 and leads from Vegesack to the Farge district . Since 2011, the route has been operated by line RS 1 of the Bremen / Lower Saxony regional S-Bahn .

The last section of the Schönebecker Aue flows under the Vegesacker Bahnhofsplatz through a pipe system.

In 1973 the core of Vegesack was declared a redevelopment area. In the west of the square, three-story residential and commercial buildings were built around 1980. The Grohner Düne was built with 572 apartments until 1973.

Glass-roofed waiting areas for the bus stops have been on the square since around 1990. These were torn down again , presumably in the course of the new construction of the BSAG customer center in 2014. An eight-story residential and commercial building has been limited since? next to the train station on the north side. In 2003 the 37,000 m² shopping center Haven Höövt opened .
