Stadtwaage, Renaissance weighing house in Langenstraße, Bremen.
The Stadtwaage features red brick construction with sandstone ornaments, shell-shaped decorations above windows, and pilasters rising from gable ledges.
Built between 1586 and 1588 by Lüder von Bentheim, the building served as a municipal weighing facility to collect taxes and prevent fraud in trade.
The building contains headquarters of Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Günter-Grass-Stiftung, offering spaces for concerts, presentations, and exhibitions.
Located at Langenstraße 13 in Bremen's Mitte district, the building houses a Sparkasse bank branch on the ground floor and cultural facilities above.
Five sandstone reliefs created by Ludwig Ahner-Siese depict weighing themes, connecting the building's current appearance to its historical function.
