The Violenstraße is a historical street in Bremen District Bremen-Mitte , the district center. It leads in a north-south direction from Domshof / Schüsselkorb to Domsheide .

The cross streets were named as Bischofsnadel, which led to the small bishop's gate ( acus episcopi , gate = Natel or needle) mentioned in 1274 and demolished in 1826 in the Bremen city wall , Wilhadistraße after the first Bremen bishop Willehad (around 740-789) ( Vilhaed ), Glockengang after the location of the earlier Glockenlehen (small houses for people who used to ring the bells), Sandstraße after the dune sand on the Bremen dune ( Domdüne ), Bürgerstraße until 1806 Kageltimpengang and after a widening, the current name came in the Bremen French era , Buchtstraße after Buckstrate (family name), which was occupied in 1310 and was called that until the 19th century, and Ostertorstra0e, which led to the Ostertor (East Gate, 1238–1802 / 04); otherwise see the link to the streets.

history

Surname

The street was named after the species-rich violas , that is, from the violets .

development

In the Middle Ages, the street led from Domsheide towards the former Katharinenkloster . The street as well as Domshof, Sandstrasse and Domsheide were the border to the so-called Cathedral Island . Only after the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 did this area come from the Archbishopric and Duchy of Bremen to the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen . The older maps by Hogenberg from 1588/89 and Dilich from 1603 show small gabled houses between the gates of Bischofsnadel and Ostertor. Right behind the eastern row of houses was the Bremen city wall , which was given an earth wall in front of the wall when the fortification system was expanded at the beginning of the 16th century. In this area, three bastions supplemented the fortifications.
In the 19th century there were also some packing houses of the merchant Wilhelm August Korff on Violen- and Buchtstraße .

According to a plan by construction director Gerd Offenberg from around 1936, the Domshof should be larger and no longer be traversed by trams. Violenstrasse was supposed to take the train. Many houses were destroyed here during World War II.
Offenberg's planned relocation of the tram from Domshof to Violenstrasse was already part of the urban planning in 1949 in the general traffic plan of 1949. In
1955, the Senate decided on a development plan that enabled the eastern bypass of the market square and the tram from Domsheide over the widened Violenstrasse and the bowl basket should lead. In the 1980s the plan was implemented. A building on the cathedral island next to the former rectory of the cathedral parish had to give way. Today (as of 2018) lines 4, 6 and 8 pass through the street.

traffic

The Bremen tram runs through the street with lines 4 ( Lilienthal - Hauptbahnhof - Domsheide - Arsten ), 6 ( University - Hauptbahnhof - Domsheide - Airport ) and 8 ( Huchting - Domsheide - Hauptbahnhof - Kulenkampffallee ).

In transport in Bremen , the bus lines here 24 ( Rablinghausen - New Vahr ), 25 ( Weidedamm - Osterholz ).

Buildings and facilities

On the street there are mostly four-story and some three-, five- and six-story buildings. Except for the listed houses, all were built around and after 1970.
