history

Surname

Wachmannstrasse was named after the Bremen council syndicate and envoy Johann Wachmann the Elder (1592–1659). He worked as a diplomat for the Senate and took part in the peace negotiations in Osnabrück, where the Thirty Years War ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 .

development

Apart from a small triangle in the northeast, the residential development in the Bürgerpark district is in the Pagenthorn Feldmark area. Intensive settlement on the street began at the end of the 19th century, architecturally shaped by many old Bremen houses from after 1900 and new buildings from after 1960.

The association Die Wachmannstrasse from 2002 with approx. 130 members represents the interests of the residents and businesses.

traffic

Since 2011/12, the road between the Schubertstraße confluence and the Schwachhauser Ring has been a bicycle road .

Tram line 7 from Woltmershausen to western Schwachhausen was opened in 1911 to Wachmannstrasse and extended to Hartwigstrasse in 1914. In 1952, line 15 ran from Wachmannstrasse to the airport. In 1959, the route of line 16 coming from Grolland via Wachmannstrasse to Riensberg was extended on H.-H.-Meier-Allee. In 1967 the previous line 16 was given line number 6 (Grolland from 1976 Huchting - Wachmannstraße - Riensberg). After the network was reorganized, line 6 now ran from the airport to Riensberg and, after being extended in 1998, to the university.

Today the Bremen tram runs through the street with line 6 (university - airport) and line 8 (Huchting - Kulenkampffallee) touches the street at Stern.

In local transport in Bremen, bus line 22 (Kattenturm-Mitte ↔ University) touches the street on Schwachhauser Ring and line 24 (Rablinghausen ↔ Neue Vahr-Nord) Am Stern.

Buildings and facilities

The street is mainly built up with two- to four-story residential buildings from the period after the Second World War in the 1960s to 1980s.
