Böttcherstraße
A brick-built Expressionist lane from the 1920s and 1930s, with a porcelain carillon and two museums. It is the most artistic 100 meters in Bremen.
This roughly 100-meter lane was redeveloped with funding from coffee merchant Ludwig Roselius. It blends Expressionism with brickwork, and at its entrance stands a golden relief called the Light Bringer. The Meissen porcelain carillon in the Glockenspiel House chimes on the hour every day from 12:00 to 18:00, and revolving panels depicting seafaring heroes turn at the same time. The street is home to the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum and the Haus Roselius (combined ticket), along with craft shops and a chocolate shop.
Opening hours
All day; museum open 11:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., closed Mondays
