Haus Schumacher
Haus Schumacher stands in Bremen’s Oberneuland district as a single-storey farmhouse built around 1780. Its half-timbered walls, thatched roof and horse-head motifs create a clear Baroque silhouette.
This Brinksitzerhaus served tenant farmers with limited land ownership and remains Bremen’s oldest surviving example. Originally, two families shared the building’s separate living quarters, while later extensions added more rooms. Nineteenth-century alterations prepared spaces for summer guests, and the second half was demolished around 2000. After a year of vacancy, extensive restoration followed from 2013 to 2017, while the hall, stables beneath the left extension and attic remained in use.
Monument protection has covered the farmhouse since 1973, and the restored building now serves as a residence. The horse heads at the gable peak provide its most distinctive detail, linking the rural structure to Oberneuland’s agricultural past.
