The Weserstraße is an access road in the Bremen district of Vegesack in the town district. It runs parallel to the lower Weser promenade on the Weser . It is one of the most beautiful streets in northern Germany and leads in an east-west direction from Schulkenstrasse (named after the Schulken family) to Rohrstrasse in the direction of Vegesacker Hafen .
The cross streets were u. a. named as Breite Straße , where Alt- and Neu-Vegesack bordered each other, Kimmstraße after the builder Johann Friedrich Kimm, who laid the street in 1840, Halenbeckstraße (previously Schmalestraße ) after the local historian and writer Lüder Halenbeck (1841–1895), Bermpohlstraße (previously Sandstraße ) after the navigation teacher Adolph Bermpohl (1833-1887) and Rohrstraße (previously Buchtstraße ) after the city director and printer's owner Friedrich Rohr (1850-1913) and to the south as Vegesack beach promenade, which leads through the Vegesack city garden , with various stairways.
history
From 1618 to 1623 the Vegesack harbor, which belonged to Bremen, was laid out. Around the port, the village of Vegesack developed mainly to the west, which came to the Electorate of Hanover in 1741, but without the port, became Bremen again in 1803 and became a city in 1852. After 1773, Kur-Hannover developed a plan to settle the heathland between Fähr and the Vegesack harbor and slowly, from 1775, implemented it as Neu-Vegesack , with Weserstraße also being laid out as an extension of today's Rohrstraße.
In the 19th century, Weserstraße developed alongside Gerhard-Rohlfs-Straße and Reeder-Bischoff-Straße to become an important street in Vegesack. The street had predominantly one to two / three-storey residential buildings. Distinctive entrepreneurial and captain's houses characterize the picture. The street was named after the Weser .
Buildings and monuments
On Weserstrasse there are one to two / three-storey buildings, mostly residential and also commercial buildings. The classicist captain's houses are juxtaposed with the huge villas from the Wilhelminian era . Captains, shipyard managers, craftsmen, merchants and educators lived here. On the south side, the gardens of the villas slope steeply towards the Weser. This is where the city garden of Vegesack is located, where the botanist and doctor Albrecht Wilhelm Roth once planted rare trees. From the verandas of the villas, the residents have a wide and beautiful view over the Weser.

The summer residence of the Fritze family was built in 1876 according to plans by Heinrich Müller in the era of historicism. The lavish villa with a view of the Weser was one of the most splendid properties of wealthy merchants on the high banks of the Weser. Together with the existing outbuilding at Weserstraße 33-33A / Kimmstraße, the ensemble represents an outstanding example of upper-class living culture in Vegesack. The Bremen architect Müller built a villa for the Fritze family that was shaped by French Renaissance and Baroque influences. Before that, there was a smaller, single-storey, classicist country house from 1827 owned by the merchant and senator Carl Wilhelm August Fritze . The property included a park that Fritze bought from the heirs of the doctor and botanist Albrecht Wilhelm Roth in 1834. The park site formed the core of today's Vegesack city garden on the Weser promenade. The former tea house , built in 1879/80, with a stair tower and an octagonal, renaissance, bastion-like Belvedere pavilion (Weserstr. 75 c), and a coachman and coach house in the Swiss style (Weserstr. 33-33a) are still separated from the outbuildings .
