Remise

In 1827 a smaller, single-storey, classicist country house with a portico of the Bremen merchant (tobacco, grain, cotton) and senator (1830 to 1849) Carl Wilhelm August Fritze (1781–1850) stood here as a summer residence . A large park has belonged to this house since 1834, which was created by purchasing large parts of the property of the doctor and important botanist Dr. Albrecht Wilhelm Roth was created; today the core of the Vegesack City Garden .

The new ensemble from 1876 consists of a villa, tea house , belvedere , coach house and country estate.

The two-storey, eight-axis, clinker-brick villa with two wings on the Weser side, a hipped roof , strong cornices , three-axis, Weser-side portico with a terrace above and verandas and loggias was built in 1876 in the epoch of historicism in the style of French Renaissance - and Baroque influences for the merchant Gottfried Johannes Carl Fritze built.

The State Office for Monument Preservation Bremen found: "... the most elaborate villa in Vegesack, belonged to the splendid properties of wealthy circles from Bremen and Vegesack, who had it built on Weserstraße at a beautiful altitude with a view of the Weser ..."

The two-storey, plastered teahouse with the three-storey turret was built in 1879/80 in Weserstraße 75C, right on the edge of the high bank.

The two-storey clinkered in the base depot and the carriage house with a truss gable and upper planking was 1876 Weserstrasse 33 / 33A corner Kimmstraße. The Bremen-Vegesack volunteer fire brigade is stationed there today .

The villa has been used as municipal property by a number of authorities since 1938, first as a town house and after 1945 as the Vegesack local office with the Bremen-Nord registry office. The former local office building was sold to a real estate company in 2012 and the interior was rebuilt. A small part of the rear property above the Vegesack balcony must remain accessible to the public. Today (2018) it is used by eight residential apartments.

In Bremen-Nord, architect Heinrich Müller also designed Wätjens Castle , the Evangelical Reformed Church in Blumenthal , Rauch's estate and some captains' houses in Vegesack.
