history
Surname
The Wätjenstrasse was named after the Bremen shipowners Diedrich Wätjen (1785–1858) and Heinrich Wätjen (1813–1887). The liberal Diedrich Heinrich Wätjen was also Bremen Senator from 1837 to 1857 . Christian Heinrich Wätjen was his son, who joined his father's shipping company in 1837. The temporarily largest fleet of sailing ships in Bremen carried goods and emigrants and also consisted of whaling ships.
