The Böttcherstraße is an only about 100m short street in the centre of Bremen. It's history reaches back to medieval times, though the buildings found there today are from the early 20th century.
The name of the street derives from the main trade that resided in that street - a Böttcher is a cooper (barrel maker).
The Böttcherstraße is famous for it's unusual architecture, a result of the initiative of Ludwig Roselius, a Bremen-based coffee-trader and art patron, who charged the architect, painter and sculptor Bernhard Hoetger with the artistic supervison of redeveloping the street. The result is an unique architectural ensemble belonging to a variant of the expressionist style.

In the wee hours I'll meet you
Down by Dun Ringill
Oh, and we'll watch the old gods play
By Dun Ringill
We'll wait in stone circles
'Till the force comes through
Lines joint in faint discord
And the storm watch brews
A concert of kings
As the white sea snaps
At the heels of a soft prayer
Whispered

The expressionist Chilehaus building is a UNESCO world heritage site for its rich architecture and history. Chilehaus is one of Hamburg’s most impressive buildings. It’s the pointy eastern end, reminiscent of a ship’s bow, is what first meets the eye. Since the building’s completion in 1924, it has been a centre for international maritime trade.

...kann wahrscheinlich niemand.
Dennoch möchte ich an dieser Stelle nochmals auf den Architekten und den Ideengeber zu diesem expressionistischen Bauwerk zu sprechen kommen.
Der Name fiel bereits bei den beiden voran gegangenen Bildern.
Wikipedia weiß dazu:
"Klarwein wurde in Warschau geboren... Als Juden wanderte die Familie wegen des wachsenden Antisemitismus in Polen und Russland ... 1905 vom Zarenreich nach Deutschland aus.
Aufgrund seiner erkennbaren künstlerischen Begabung studierte Klarwein von 1917 bis 1919 Architektur an der Technischen Hochschule München, ohne einen formalen Hochschulabschluss (als Diplom-Ingenieur) zu erwerben.
Ab 1921 arbeitete Klarwein im Architekturbüro von Fritz Höger in Hamburg, bald hatte er dort als Hauptentwurfsarchitekt eine leitende Funktion... Seiner Position als Angestellter entsprechend, wurden Klarweins Entwürfe in dieser Zeit stets unter Högers Namen veröffentlicht...
Über Ernst-Erik Pfannschmidt, einen ebenfalls angestellten Architektenkollegen Klarweins, und dessen Vater ...gelangte Höger 1928 an den Auftrag, die Kirche am Hohenzollernplatz in Berlin zu bauen. Höger hatte mit einem Plan Klarweins überzeugt, den er vertragsgemäß unter seinem Namen eingereicht hatte. Klarweins späterer Freund, der Architekt Yehudah Lavie (geb. Ernst Loewisohn), bestätigte in einem Interview, dass diese Kirche ein Entwurf Klarweins war.
...Höger, der sich den Nationalsozialisten andiente, entließ Klarwein, weil er Jude war, zum 1. Januar 1933...
1934 emigrierte Klarwein dann mit seiner nichtjüdischen Frau Elsa und seinem Sohn Mathias ins britische Mandatsgebiet Palästina, da sie in Deutschland keine Zukunft mehr sahen. Sie ließen sich in Haifa nieder. Klarwein änderte seinen Vornamen von der slawischen Namensvariante Ossip zur hebräischen Form Josseph (יוסף) In Haifa machte sich Klarwein als Architekt selbständig. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Immigranten war er gleich von Beginn an gut beschäftigt und plante und baute oft für andere Immigranten Häuser, teilweise recht anspruchsvolle Bauten, oft auf dem Karmel. Als Hochschullehrer am Technion bildete Klarwein die nächste Generation Architekten aus..."
Eine Wohltat, von dieser Wendung zum Positiven zu erfahren.
Herr Höger ist mir nicht sympatischer geworden, es mag viele wie ihn gegeben haben. Es gibt sie noch - leider.

A swan that wishes to be a Realist in an Expressionist world ... but in reality, it is equally derived.

Thanks for looking, and, for all your comments and invites over the last week ! I'm slowly catching up :)
Die expressionistische Kirche von Magolsheim (OT von Münsingen) hat einen ganz besonderen Schatz zu bieten:
den ersten Fensterauftrag für die gesamte Kirche von
Wilhelm Geyer von 1935. Am mittleren Fenster rechts unten
hat er sich zusammen mit F. Mayer verewigt. Es eindeutig ein Frühwerk; noch ganz auf den Expressionismus zugeschnitten.

Dieser expressionistische Vorzeigebau wurde aus einer ursprünglich neoromanischen Kirche entwickelt, welche von 1857-60 erbaut wurde. Dominikus Böhm war der Planer hinter diesem Umbau von 1922 - 27 der den Raum vollständig änderte. Er leitete auch den Wiederaufbau nach den Zerstörungen im 2. Weltkrieg die von 1945 bis 1951 dauerten.
Die Kirche gilt als einer der frühesten Versuche moderner,
gotisierend-expressionistischer Sakralbaukunst und hat Dominikus Böhm zu Weltruhm verholfen!
