Teerhof
The Teerhof is a peninsula between the River Weser and the Kleine Weser, opposite the city centre of Bremen, Germany.[1] It was first mentioned in 1624 as "Theerhof" when it was the northernmost part of an island. Today it consists of residential buildings and the Weserburg modern art museum.[2]
History
The name Teerhof means "tarring yard" as it was here ship hulls and ropes were tarred. Up to the end of the 19th century, mixed industrial and residential developments led to a widely varying collection of buildings. By the 1930s, the Teerhof was made up of storehouses, small production facilities and housing.[2]
