    Tips

    November 15, 2024

    The thirteen captains' houses date from the 19th century.
    The buildings have been listed as historical monuments in Bremen since 1984.
    The Vegesack harbor has existed since 1623. The increasing silting of the Weser made shipping to Bremen more difficult and ultimately prevented it. The harbor thus became increasingly important. The wealthy captains built their houses on Weserstrasse and the surrounding area, while the merchants and shipowners built their villas in Bremen's old town in the 19th century, initially on the Contrescarpe and then in the front of Schwachhausen. After the founding of Bremerhaven (1827) and after the Weser correction (until 1895), the harbor lost importance.
    The one- and two-story plastered classicist residential buildings were built from the beginning to the middle of the 19th century.
