You will recognise this medieval alley by the gold writing on the building facades of Atlantis-Haus (right) and Robinson-Crusoe-Haus (left). Information boards describing all of the attractions in detail are placed everywhere along this impressive little street.The name Böttcherstraße originated from the fact that “Bottiche” = barrels/kegs were manufactured there. The barrel/keg makers and their families lived in those old buildings. They were purchased by Ludwig Roselius in the 20th century after they began to decay. Roselius was a coffee merchant in Bremen and he invented caffeine-free coffee. He pursued the mission of restoring the arts and crafts trade and Low German culture. The Böttcherstraße was, and still remains, an important connection between the Weser-River and the market place; thanks to Roselius, it has a special charm. Namely highlighted by the impressive buildings of various designs ranging from brick buildings to Art Deco.
