Vahr, Residential quarter in Bremen-Ost, Germany

The district spans over 4.3 square kilometers and contains four sections: Gartenstadt Vahr, Neue Vahr Nord, Neue Vahr Südwest, and Neue Vahr Südost.

Vahr emerged as a response to Bremen's housing crisis after World War II, with construction beginning in 1954 and the district officially established in 1959.

The district gained national recognition through Sven Regner's novel 'Neue Vahr Süd', which portrays the daily life of residents in this modern urban setting.

The area connects to Bremen's center through multiple transportation options, including tram line 1 and bus lines 21, 24, 25, and 29.

The 22-story Aalto-Hochhaus, completed in 1961 by architect Alvar Aalto, stands as the primary architectural landmark of the district.
