Arbergen

Arbergen is a residential neighborhood in southeastern Bremen that stretches along the right bank of the Weser River and houses around 5,600 people. The area combines residential blocks with green spaces and is defined by St. Johannis Church with its distinctive tower.

Settlement traces date back to the 4th century, though the area was first documented by name in 1230. The neighborhood gradually transformed from agricultural land into a residential area on Bremen's edge.

St. Johannis Church stands as the visual heart of the neighborhood with its solid tower and ancient walls that frame the streetscape. The building serves as a daily point of reference for residents and visitors navigating the district.

The central village square hosts a weekly market every Friday where residents gather and shop for local goods. The proximity to the Weser River makes the area accessible by foot or bicycle for exploring.

The Arberger Mill built in 1803 stands as a striking reminder of the district's agricultural past. The building shows visitors how different this place looked before it became a modern residential area.
