Schnoor, which means "string" in Low German, is a fitting name for this area where the houses line up like pearls on a string. Dating back to the 13th century, Schnoor is Bremen's oldest quarter, known for its medieval character, narrow alleyways, and charming, well-preserved buildings. Originally home to fishermen, sailors, and artisans, Schnoor has transformed into a vibrant area filled with quaint shops, cozy cafes, and artisan boutiques. Schnoor's history is a tapestry of Bremen's past. Once a bustling neighborhood for merchants and tradesmen, it has retained its medieval layout and character through the centuries. The quarter narrowly escaped destruction during World War II, allowing it to remain a living monument to Bremen's architectural and cultural heritage. Today, Schnoor is a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and charm.
