Surname

The Waller Ring was named after the Walle district. The traffic planning of the building director Alexander Schröder in the 1860s / 70s provided for a ring road ( Schröderring ) around the core of the city, to which Waller Ring, Utbremer Ring , Schwachhauser Ring , Kirchbachstraße and Stader Straße belonged.

development

The village of Walle was first mentioned in 1139. In 1848 the Feldmark Utbremen was incorporated and in 1885 the rural community Walle became the city of Bremen. On Waller Ring and its cross streets, apartments were built as rented and terraced houses, often for factory and dock workers.
In 1903/05 an elementary school was built on the corner of Steffensweg and Bremerhavener Strasse, and in 1912/13 the new secondary school in the west, today's Oberschule am Waller Ring, took place.

After the First World War, further social housing buildings were built. Walle and Gröpelingen were typical working class suburbs and strongholds of the SPD and KPD

In the air raids on Bremen in 1944 around 25,000 apartments were destroyed in Walle. A number of residential buildings have been preserved on Waller Ring. The reconstruction of the destroyed district took place largely in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Waller Festival takes place every year on Vegesacker Straße between the ice cream parlor and Waller Ring.
