Bremen in the year 1937

Here we have a small 2 minute movie about my hometown Bremen, during the year 1937.

 

At first we see the Bremer Marktplatz with it's weekly Grünmarkt, which is still held today. We see the old Renaissance Rathaus, which is the seat of our local goverment. The camera shows the entrance to the böttcherstraße, over the markt, toward to unser lieb frauenkirche. We also see the back then new Karstadt Mall, to the left of the Obernstraße.

 

Some visitors come out of the Ratskeller, visit the Parkhotel with the Hollersee and then go to the Weser Island Teerhof. From the Teerhof island, we see the houses on der Schlachte and the historical Bremen Port. Almost all of the Port was destroyed during the War.

 

The visitor makes a little boat tour through the port. He goes past the Atlas-Werft, goes past the europahafen and then goes to the überseehafen. There are also some things that aren't chronlogically ordered.

 


Alot of these things still stand in my city, only the port is now off, which was a big catastrophe for Bremen.

What? No mention of the Glockenspiel House? :wau:

 

It is remarkable what survived the RAF and VIII raids considering Bremen was a target for years.

No. The Glockenspielhaus is in the Böttcherstraße and that is a very small road. Putting one of those ancient cameras there would be quite the task. :P

 

Yeah, i mean unsere Lieb frauen kirche was partially destroyed, but they rebuild it like before. Our big Cathedral (which you see at 0:12) is still the same as in this vid, as well as our Roland Statue and our Rathaus. Our port took it the worst though.

 

I think we where kind of lucky that those things remained unharmed, because they make our city what it is.
