history
In 1928 the city of Bremen carried out a competition through the housing department for an area on Hamburger Strasse between Staderstrasse and Nienburger Strasse, in order to create "according to uniform criteria ... something exemplary" for the area. Various housing associations and their architects were involved. According to the urban planning concept, the four- and five-story apartment blocks should shield the one- and two-story row houses from the main road.
The one to five-storey buildings with flat or gable roofs at Hamburger Strasse 222 to 240, Weimarer Strasse 1 to 5, Altenburger Strasse 2 to 24 and Stader Strasse 54 to 58 were built from 1928 to 1929 according to plans by the architects Heinz Stoffregen and Rudolf August built for the non-profit civil servants housing association .
The large, brick-built apartment blocks are aligned with Hamburger Strasse and Stader Strasse, with one block set back a little for the rectangular Tannhäuser Platz . One-storey shops were built at two corners. The Bremen architect Stoffregen planned this part of the cubic development as a future-oriented building of early modernism in Germany. A wide cornice closes off the building at the top, the four-storey bay windows structure the building. The details of the design reveal regional references.
The two-storey row houses behind them were built in 1929 as two-family houses by the housing department and are mostly at right angles to the blocks. They are still reminiscent of the turn of the century in Bremen . With a uniform floor plan, the facades were slightly differentiated. The large housing estate, the first urban planning of its kind in Bremen, was initially completed with single-storey terraced houses on Altenburger (clinker) and Oberhofer Straße (plastered buildings). After 1933 the settlement was continued with the buildings customary at that time.
Today (2020) the buildings will continue to be used almost exclusively for residential purposes.
