Landherrnamt

The Landherrnamt is an administrative building from the 19th century with Neo-Romanesque elements and a sandstone facade in Bremen's old town. The three-story structure now stands as part of the St. Johannis School complex and carries heritage protection status.

Construction occurred in 1856 following designs by architect Alexander Schröder as the seat of administrative officials managing the State of Bremen. The structure stands as evidence of the city's modernization through the 19th century.

The building shows how Bremen equipped its administration in the 19th century and reflects the architectural preferences of that era. Today visitors can see how such structures shape the character of the old town and tell of their past as important administrative centers.

The building stands at Dechanatstraße 11 in the Mitte district and is not open to the public since it serves school functions. From the outside, however, you can observe and photograph its architecture well, especially when walking through the Schnoor streets.

Following extensive renovations in 2011, the pink finish coating disappeared from the facade and revealed the natural sandstone beneath. This restoration uncovered the stone's original color, making the building appear in a different light than before.
