Fangturm

In the 10th century, only the cathedral district was walled as a cathedral castle. From 1229 onwards, a ring wall was built around the entire old town, semicircular on the land side. In the 13th century, Bremen expanded westwards. From 1307 onwards, the new Stephanivorstadt was given a wall on the land side only. In the 15th century, the first brick phase of Bremen's architectural history, the city wall on the Weser side in the port areas of Schlachte and Tiefer was successively replaced by the gable sides of brick warehouses, so that only the battle gates remained of the original wall at Schlachte. The Stephaniviertel, on the other hand, did not receive a wall on the Weser side until the middle of the 16th century. After that, in 1551, the wall between the old districts and the Stephaniviertel was able to fall.
