Heineken House

Heineken House is a three-story building in central Bremen with International Gothic style and elaborate facades. The window details and construction techniques span different periods and reveal multiple renovation phases.

The building underwent major renovation in 1579, when the oldest painted wooden ceiling in Bremen was installed. This work marks a significant moment in the city's construction history.

The building is named after Christian Abraham Heineken, a former Bremen mayor who owned the property during the city's transformation period. The name reflects an important figure from the city's past who shaped its development.

The building is located at Sandstraße 3 and now houses the State Office for Historic Monuments. Visitors should check office hours before planning an interior visit to see the building's interior.

A QR code information plaque was mounted on the exterior wall in 2014 to provide visitors digital access to the building's extensive documentation. This modern addition connects the historic structure with contemporary information technology.
