der
lichtbringer ~ entrance to Böttcherstrasse in Bremen
This old
narrow street lined with craftsmen was given its name in the Middle Ages by
barrel makers and coopers (Böttcher) located here. Later this street was
transformed into a unique work of art by Bremen coffee merchant Ludwig Roselius
(Kaffee Hag) and the architects, Eduard Scotland and Alfred Runge, as well as
sculptor Bernhard Hoetger from Worpswede.
The
“Lichtbringer” by Hoetger, an impressive golden relief plate, marks the
entrance to Bremen’s “secret main street” with the red brick architecture
typical of the 1920s
