The German educator Dr. Franz Buchenau takes the interested reader on a vivid journey through historical Bremen in the 19th century in his present work. Buchenau explains the situation of the Bremen state, the waterways, as well as land and soil, and introduces the reader to the dike system and drainage of that time. He provides a detailed picture of the city of Bremen during that period, including churches, monuments, the education system, and trade. With this volume, Buchenau has created a comprehensive overview of the city and the extensive region of Bremen in the mid-19th century. This book is a reprint of the long-out-of-print original edition from 1862.
