In 2000, the Bremen Senate decided on a development concept, which provides for the restructuring of the old port areas in Bremen. The city thus laid the foundation stone for an exciting change. Where cotton, coffee and spices were stored a few years ago, today one of the most exciting art, culture and service centers in the Weser city is being created. Disused, huge red brick storehouses are now the location for numerous cafes, restaurants and companies.
