Haus Blumenkamp
Haus Blumenkamp stands in Bremen’s Burglesum district, in the St. Magnus area near the Lesum River. The villa dates from 1864. Christian Roselius designed the two-storey, plastered building with an attached single-storey economic wing during the Historicist period. A spacious park surrounds the former country estate.
The Wolde family commissioned the house when northern St. Magnus remained sparsely populated. The railway from Bremen-Burg to Vegesack reached St. Magnus in 1862. Carl Heinrich Wolde is regarded as the builder, having made his fortune through the money exchange firm J. Schultze & Wolde. Over time, the property became a mothers’ rest home, a Bremen-Nord building authority, temporary accommodation, and a daycare centre in 1993. Bremen placed the villa under heritage protection in 2012.
The northern park includes a garden for blind visitors, sometimes wrongly associated with nearby Knoops Park. Above the north entrance, a family crest and the inscription “Anno 1864” preserve the house’s clearest surviving signature.
