history

Surname

The name Walle comes from the Walle district, which was named after a farm in Walle . The Waller Chaussee , later Waller Heerstraße was also in the 19th century a military road . In Bremen and Umzu, many military roads were built after 1800 or roads were named as military roads (see Bremen streets ).

development

The village of Walle was first mentioned in 1139 and the Hof zu Walle in 1179 . The gentlemen at Walle were archbishop servants and Bremen councilors . From 1524 there was its own parish Walle. The village belongs to the Goh Werderland .

During the French period in Bremen , the road was expanded to become a military road for troop movements of the Napoleonic Grande Armée in the north-south direction, and in 1821 it was expanded to Waller Chaussee . In 1812 Walle had 493 inhabitants.

In 1833 the Achelis family bought the Walle estate. The Waller Park was created afterwards and was generally open to the public in 1928. In 1846 Utbremen and 1885/1902 Walle were incorporated into Bremen. In 1875/1890 the old village cemetery on the estate had to be expanded to become the Waller cemetery . After the opening of the free port and u. a. the jute spinning and weaving mill in Bremen (1888) new houses for the workers.

Between 1885 and 1914 the construction of the ports and the settlement of industrial companies took place and Gröpelingen changed fundamentally. A denser development with rental houses for the workers was built on the street; Waller Bahnhof was opened in 1914. After the First World War , further social housing buildings were built. The workers' suburb "Rotes Gröpelingen" was a stronghold of the SPD and KPD . The tram depot was built in 1926.

During the November pogroms in 1938 , SA men attacked the Jewish old people's home at Rosenak-Haus on Gröpelinger Heerstrasse and the corner of Morgenlandstrasse. In the air raids on Bremen in 1944 around 25,000 apartments were destroyed in Walle. The urban development consequences of the turmoil in the cityscape of this street are still clearly visible today.

A rapid reconstruction of the district took place in the 1950s to 1970s. In 1949, Waller Park was able to be restored.
1947 was the inauguration of the Low German Theater . Ernst Waldau took over the management of the theater and it was later called the Waldau Theater . The venue held 550 spectators. In 1951 children's theater was performed in the house for the first time. After renovations, the theater restaurant was opened around 1954. In 2011 the Waldau Theater - Theater der Kulturen company went bankrupt. The building continued to be used for cultural events for a while.
From 1953 the west green corridor was laid out on an earlier railway line and the youth leisure center was built.

The Bremen ice rink was built in 1998 and the Walle Center in 1999 on the site of the former engine shed. In 2002 the city ​​council passed the local law for the redevelopment area Waller Heerstraße , for an area in which the southern parts of Waller Heerstraße were included in the redevelopment.

traffic

In 1879 the Great Bremen Horse Railway opened the second horse railway line from Hastedt to Walle, the main features of which still exist today. From 1899 the electrified tram ran from Bremen to Walle-Bogenstraße. From 1901 to 1903, the Bremen tram line was extended to Oslebshausen. This train has been running as Line 2 since 1908, which ended in 1926 after the construction of the depot in Gröpelingen. Around 1939 there was line 10 from Bremen Ost via Hauptbahnhof to Waller Bahnhof.

In Bremen's local traffic, tram lines 2 (Gröpelingen - Walle - Domsheide - Sebaldsbrück ) and 10 (Gröpelingen - Walle - Hauptbahnhof - Sebaldsbrück) and bus lines 26 (Walle - Huckelriede) run on Waller Heerstraße .

In regional traffic, the regional S-Bahn , line RS1 Farge - Bremen - Verden, stops at Bremen-Walle station on the Wunstorf – Bremerhaven seaport line .

On the street there are two-, three-, four- and a few single-storey buildings, which are mostly residential buildings and in the central areas commercial buildings.
