Opulent Art Nouveau villas and Old Bremen houses mark the appearance of Schwachhausen, which lies north of the city center. The popular area is considered a solid neighborhood for well-situated residents. In actuality, you’ll find a mixture of all generations and salary brackets in Schwachhausen’s seven section.
Probably the most popular place to go in Schwachhausen is Bürgerpark with the adjacent Stadtwald - together, these green oases form Bremen's largest park. The residential areas of Bürgerpark and Neu-Schwachhausen, which are located directly adjacent to the two recreational areas, are correspondingly sought-after. Just as in these two districts, you will also find many worthwhile examples of the so-called Altbremer Haus (old Bremen house) as well as modern city villas and apartment buildings in the Riensberg and Schwachhausen neighborhoods. Due to its location close to the city center and many representative buildings, numerous businesses and offices have settled in Barkhof. Named after the well-known Bremen broadcasting station, the Radio Bremen district is located in the west of Schwachhausen. An attractive residential quarter has developed here, characterized by the careful addition of modern new buildings to the old building stock. In the Gete district you will encounter a somewhat less uniform but no less inviting residential area, where many families have been at home for decades. In all seven districts of Schwachhausen, you have to be prepared for comparatively high rents.
