Haus der Bremischen Bürgerschaft
Haus der Bremischen Bürgerschaft stands beside Bremen’s marketplace, where the parliament of the Free Hanseatic City meets. Its reinforced-concrete and glass façade opens towards the square.
Architect Wassili Luckhardt designed the building after wartime destruction cleared the site for a new parliamentary seat. Construction took place between 1962 and 1963. The modern design initially sparked debate, but the building opened in 1966 and became a protected monument in 1992. Inside, representatives debate, amend and pass laws for Bremen and Bremerhaven.
Public sessions show parliamentary work, while guided tours connect political processes with the building’s architecture. A wheelchair-accessible visit also leads towards the sculpture garden, which contains works by Gerhard Marcks. The garden opened in 2005, adding artwork to this working civic setting.
