history

Körner Memorial

At the beginning of the 19th century, only 50 houses were still in open construction in front of the Easter gate. In 1849 areas of the Ostertor district were incorporated and the citizens were given full citizenship of Bremen. The Körnerwall was planned as a street and square in the Ostertorvorstadt. The central green area is privately owned and must be maintained by the residents. The building contractor Heinrich Carl Oldehoff had the street and the U-shaped square laid out.

The two-storey suburban houses with plastered facades and pitched roofs were built by the master bricklayer Oldehoff's company as the client as a uniform, coherent ensemble. The row houses were built in 1859 in the style of historicism .

The house type Bremer Haus , which occurs frequently in the district , was built in Bremen between the mid-19th century and the 1930s. The basement as a basement , the deep building shape and the side entrance are characteristic.

Today (2018) these houses are still used for residential purposes while other buildings on the street serve as residential and commercial buildings.
