Guided tour of Böttcherstrasse (Cooper Street): art, history and commerce.

The Bremen coffee merchant Ludwig Roselius knew at an early stage that you sell more in beautiful surroundings. In the Böttcherstraße he combined his preference for North German art and history with coffee trade. The design of the street was mainly influenced by the artist Bernhard Hoetger.

On our tour of Bremer’s Böttcherstraße you will hear how the old tradesman’s street was transformed into a work of art, why this street was in great danger during the 1930s, who was the first female artist a museum was dedicated to, and where the carillion with the picture tower exhibit the importance of the shipping and aviation industry for Bremen.
