Findorff

Thanks to its location and offerings, Findorff is popular with families as well as younger people. As Findorff is becoming an increasingly popular district, rents are also rising. For single-family homes, especially near the Bürgerpark and around the Weidedamm, you therefore have to dig a little deeper into your wallet. Nevertheless, there are also housing offers for young people, which are always very popular in view of the proximity to the university and are often quickly taken. The district In den Hufen borders directly to the Hochschulring and is located in the immediate vicinity of the university. Findorff offers a wide range of shopping facilities, restaurants and cafés, especially in the Regensburger Straße district. In addition to well-known supermarket chains and the Jan-Reiners-Center, there are also smaller stores for delicacies and clothing in Hemmstraße. Just a short distance away, you will be supplied with fresh fruit, vegetables and much more at the weekly market. There is also a lot going on in this part of town in terms of events. The Findorff-Bürgerweide district regularly hosts open-air events, folk festivals and flea markets. In contrast to these urban influences are the numerous green spaces that Findorff has to offer. The district Weidedamm is located directly at the Bürgerpark and offers many possibilities to relax directly at the water, for example at the Torfkanal.

The peat canal can be explored both from the water and from land. At the harbour basin, you have the opportunity to relax right by the water. Here you will also find numerous places to sit outside, especially in summer. You can also take a peat barge across the canal and sail from here towards Blockland. In addition to normal turf boat trips, themed trips are also offered. So if you want to discover nature, are interested in history, want to go on a moor ghost trip on Halloween or would rather experience a romantic trip with your partner, then you're sure to find what you're looking for here!

Affectionately known as the "fifth season" by the people of Bremen, the Freimarkt is one of the oldest folk festivals in the north. Traditionally, the Freimarkt begins with a large firework display over the Bürgerweide. For seventeen days, the smell of roasted almonds and candy floss fills the air throughout Findorff. Whether fresh sausage from the fire, chocolate-covered fruit or ice cream - there is something for everyone. The Freimarkt is open from 1pm to 11pm during the week and until midnight at the weekend. You can party to live music in the large party tents. If the Freimarkt closes too early, you can simply continue partying in Hall 7.

Similar to the Bremen Freimarkt, the Bremer Osterwiese offers a variety of rides, food and entertainment - only on a slightly smaller scale.

The Schlachthof Cultural Centre on the edge of Bürgerweide has a lot to offer in terms of events! In addition to concerts, theatre and parties, there are also regular participatory projects. In good weather, open-air events take place in the Schlachthof's outdoor area. In summer temperatures, for example, you can enjoy cinema in the open air. There is also a skateboard area and a summer garden.

Findorff has something to offer for all flea market lovers! During the Flea Market season, you can browse through junk, books, clothes, antique treasures and much more every Sunday from 04:00 to 14:00! Thanks to the large area of the Bürgerweide, there is a large number of traders with a wide range of products.

Whether performances by the Ehrlich Brothers, major concerts or exciting trade fairs on a wide variety of topics: The ÖVB Arena and the neighbouring exhibition halls are regularly transformed into a major event highlight.

Bremer Tierschutzverein e.V. has been looking after animals in need for well over 100 years. At the Bremen animal shelter, they find temporary shelter and are lovingly cared for until they can be placed in a new home. The organisation is regularly looking for animal lovers to help out:

• Cat care
• Animal welfare counselling
• Public relations
• Crafts and gardening

The Findorff-Bürgerweide is the hub for a wide variety of events! Whether it's the Freimarkt, Osterwiese, flea market, circus or open-air concert, all events have one thing in common: an acute shortage of parking spaces! You should therefore plan to use public transport to get to the event. Bus routes 25, 26, 27 and 28 are available for this purpose.
