Bremen - Schnoor Facade

Facade of one of the ancient buildings in the Schnoor quarter. This particular building dates to 1631.

 

The inscription on the lintel reads: "AN GOTTES SEGEN IS ALES GELEGEN 1631" (roughly: "All depends on God's blessing")

 

The Schnoor quarter is the oldest documented quarter of Bremen and it has largely preserved its medieval character.

 

First mentioned in the 13th century. The two oldest remaining buildings are from 1401 and 1402 respectively. Some buildings are just remaining facades or have been relocated from other locations.
