history
The original population of the Schnoor consisted mainly of river fishermen and boatmen. In the epoch of classicism and historicism , most of the often small buildings were built from around 1800 to 1890. In the further course it became a poor people's quarter, which largely fell into disrepair - especially after the Second World War . In 1959 the city passed a statute for the protection of the building stock worth preserving. The houses have been documented and many have been listed as historical monuments since the 1970s. From the 1960s onwards, with the support of the city, renovations, gap closings and renovations took place in the Schnoor.
A two-story, simple and dilapidated previous building had to be demolished. The two-storey, plastered gable house with a gable roof was then built in 1963, designed by the monument conservator Dillschneider. The top of the gable is decorated with a kind of gable flower as a stone crown. Two coats of arms were attached to the side wall (inscription: Arckenberg Anno 1680 ; an old Bremen bourgeois family from the 17th century). The rear gable wall borders on the Wüstestätte 1 building.
Next to it are the residential building Behind the Holzpforte 3 and the Concordenhaus .
Today (2018) the house is used by a café / tea room, a shop on the desert site, as well as offices and living. The bronze monument of the Bremen original Heini Holtenbeen by the sculptor Claus Homfeld has stood in front of the house since 1990 .
The street name Hinter der Holzpforte is reminiscent of the two medieval Holtporten in the Bremen city wall , through which the wood that was carried down the Weser in the form of rafts could be brought into the city.
