Building land scandal

The rapid growth in residential construction also led to speculative property trading. In Hollerland in Horn-Lehe, on the basis of information from the SPD parliamentary group leader Richard Boljahn, not only the Bremen property company Weser, but also the housing company Neue Heimat (Boljahn was on the supervisory board) and the real estate agent Willi Lohmann speculatively bought huge areas, which later became part of the building department should be added to a development. On June 24, 1969, the Weser-Kurier published an article by the editor Ulrich Manz that triggered the building land scandal. Building Senator Blase therefore resigned on July 31, 1969 and Boljahn also lost his position as leader of the SPD parliamentary group. Only 25 years later was a smaller part of the Hollerland actually built on.
