Topic: Bremen (city)


  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bremen
From the city as a centre the new teaching spread through the surrounding territory and though the archbishop himself and some monasteries for a long time offered vigorous opposition, by the help of the Smalkaldic League, which Bremen had joined, the Reformation was introduced throughout the archdiocese, in some cases by force.
The city of Bremen with the surrounding territory was in 1731 recognized as a free city of the empire, and in 1803 received an increase of territory; in 1815 it entered the German Confederation, in 1866 the North German Confederation, and in 1871 the German Empire.
Ecclesiastically, the territory of the former Archdiocese of Bremen is divided among several dioceses: the city of Bremen and the vicinity, with about 13,000 Catholics, is subject to the Vicariate Apostolic of the Northern Missions, the remaining territory to the Dioceses of Hildesheim, Osnabrück, and Münster.

 City Mayors: Bremen City Hall (Rathaus)
Bremen City Hall, built between 1405 and 1408 after the northern German city had joined the Hanseatic League, is today considered the only German, and indeed European, city hall from the Middle Ages, which survived intact despite centuries of political and religious conflict and warfare.
The upper floor of the City Hall was reserved for events such as receptions and official functions, while the ground floor was used by the market traders, which made up a large part of Bremen’s population in the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance.
In 2004, Bremen City Hall and the Roland were awarded World Heritage status, after a UNESCO report highlighted their “exceptional testimony to the civic autonomy and sovereignty, developed in the Holy Roman Empire”.

 interdisciplines : Mo.Ve Workshop 2003 : Case Study. The Bremen 2030 Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Bremen is a good example of a "a mature city with a disproportionate number of older residents." Demographic and social development is marked by an aging, generally decreasing, increasingly individualistic population – resulting in crises and degeneration of the social security system.
The 2030 City Project intends to bring about "mobility agreements": that is major enterprises, political representatives, residents, and traffic carriers in a district sit down together, exchange their views on current and expected future mobility requirements and attempt to develop workable solutions for everyone.
Within the framework of North Bremen's mobility agreements, optimization efforts are concentrated on the Vegesack train station, one of the regionally important stops on the local rail transport and the mass transit system for the district and surrounding area.
