history
In 1921 the city began to realize urban housing under its own direction with the residential group I – IV, Anton-Schumacher-Strasse, under the direction of the city planning officer Julius Hagedorn. The 10th construction phase on the Bürgermeister-Smidt-Straße was built from 1929; this ended the city's commitment as a client.
The four- to six-storey, partly clinkered, modern residential complex with partly a mezzanine floor comprises three building blocks with 455 apartments. The pile foundations, which were up to 18 meters deep, were very expensive. The property developer here was the non-profit housing welfare association founded by the tenants' association in 1927. It was carried out in construction phases on the city's land leased under leasehold. The financing was secured by mortgages from the Sparkasse (50%), house interest tax mortgages (40%) and building shares as equity of the approximately 4000 members of the association at the time.
The architect Willy Rump planned the first five construction phases with 243 apartments on Bürgermeister-Smidt-Straße on the basis of a preliminary design by the municipal building authority (architect Fritz Boysen). Rump designed the interesting house entrances.
The State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Bremen found: "... the ... clinker brick facade facing the Bürgermeister-Smidt-Straße is quite monumental and has an urban feel."
The Bürgermeister-Smidt-Straße was continued on one side with pure residential buildings after this complex; Shops could later be set up on the ground floor.
