history

Ostertorsteinweg 102-103

The Ostertorsteinweg and Steintorsteinweg arterial roads , in front of the Steintor since 1870 , were paved in the 16th century. In the 1830s, the streets still had to be maintained by the residents. In 1849 suburban citizens were given equal opportunities. The Ostertorsteinweg has survived to this day as it had developed up to the First World War. After 1860 there was a great increase in space requirements; the houses of the now wealthy merchants from 1870 in the early days became taller and more splendid. Around 1890 it was built in the style of Italian Renaissance architecture, with a modern construction and room layout. The historicizing facades were creatively reduced and further developed.

The Sielwallkreuzung developed as the middle of the so-called quarter (districts Ostertor and Steintor) from the 1960s to the scene meeting point and from around 1980 to the accumulation point of the Bremen drug scene . The crossroads became known through the New Year's Eve riots in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This area also experienced a strong tendency towards social upgrading and gentrification as a result of renovations .

The three-storey, plastered, mostly three-axle residential, office and commercial buildings with pitched roofs and the prominent protruding cornices were built around 1860, 1870 and 1890 in the historicist era, mostly in the neo-Renaissance style. In the living group there are:

  • No. 100: from 1890, neo-Renaissance
  • No. 101: from 1890, neo-renaissance
  • No. 102: from 1860, classicism , two-axis, two-story
  • No. 103: from 1870, late classicism
  • No. 104: from 1890, neo-renaissance
  • No. 105: from 1890, neo-renaissance, cinema in the Ostertor
  • No. 105A: from 1890, neo-renaissance
  • No. 106/107: from 1890, Neo-Renaissance, corner house Sielwallkreuzung

The State Office for Monument Preservation Bremen found: "An example of the stylistic and development-typological change in residential and commercial building construction in Bremen since 1860 are three smaller building ensembles and three individual buildings listed ... a heterogeneous, but also attractive picture of a shopping street ..."

In 1934 a cinema was built as a chamber cinema, and since the 1960s the award-winning Cinema Ostertor .
Today (2018) the buildings are used for living, for shops (boutique, salon), restaurants, bars, offices and the cinema (No. 105).
