Blockland, Agricultural district in Bremen, Germany
Blockland is an agricultural district in western Bremen with traditional half-timbered farmhouses and pastures that extend for kilometers along the Wümme River. The landscape is defined by open fields and meadows where livestock grazes and rural rhythms shape daily life.
The area was developed through centuries of dyke construction and drainage work to make the land between the Weser and Wümme rivers suitable for farming. These early flood management efforts created the foundation for the region's agricultural structure today.
The 418 residents maintain their traditions through local associations, including a historical society, volunteer fire department, and young farmers' groups.
Visitors can reach the area using Bus Line 28 or Tram Lines 4 and 6 that serve nearby stations. To explore the landscape, walking or cycling is best since vehicle traffic is limited in the district.
The area is connected through a single continuous road system that winds through the city like a long thread while remaining completely surrounded by urban areas. This structure makes it a remarkable remnant of rural farmland within modern city boundaries.
