history

Paul's Monastery 5–8
Mozartstrasse 11–12

Since the 1920s and again from the 1960s, the Senate planned the construction of a larger road route as an east tangent through the Ostertorviertel over the Weser and through the Neustadt , which was generally referred to in the quarter as Mozarttrasse . In anticipation of this breakthrough, the building fabric in the area had been neglected for years. The route project failed in 1973 at the resistance of the residents in the neighborhood and in the new resolution by the SPD - parliamentary group .

In the 1970s, the Ostertorviertel for was redevelopment area and the Bremische Society for urban renewal, urban development and housing (in short: Bremische ) was redevelopment agency . Instead of the previous area renovation, the existing building was to be renovated and the gaps in the building closed. In 1974, the redevelopment agency announced an urban design ideas competition with the aim of restoring the old character of the district.

From 1977 to 1980 the three-storey plastered apartment buildings with concrete / glass oriels and balconies were built for the Northwest German Settlement Society according to plans by the architects Hans Mensinga and Dieter Rogalla (Hamburg) . The multi-storey and terraced houses in the Bremen house style closed three vacant lots in the so-called milk quarter of the former Benedictine Paul ’s monastery . The architects tried to achieve the legibility of individual houses.

The townhouses at Paulskloster 5 to 8 with approx. 150 m² living space were built , the apartment buildings Mozartstraße 11 to 12 with 75 to 120 m² living space and the social housing Bleicherstraße with 90 m²  living space . Inside the building block Bleicherstraße is the former cowshed (today the culture house) and former milk shop (now a children's shop), which gave the quarter its name.

The architecture guide bremen writes: “With terraced houses in the street at the Paulskloster, the traditional construction of the Bremen house was tied up .... The organization of the apartments over three levels also echoes the Bremen house, with the half-storey height offset being a modern interpretation of "living through" represents ".
