Vahr is located about 5 km east of the center of Bremen. The neighboring districts are Oberneuland in the north, Osterholz in the east, Hemelingen in the southeast, the eastern suburb in the southwest, Schwachhausen in the west and Horn-Lehe in the northwest.
Vahr became a district of Bremen in 1959. Because around 100,000 apartments were missing in Bremen after the Second World War, 1954 Bremen began to build the „garden city Vahr“ with 2200 apartments in a few years. After that, „New Vahr“ was built from 1957 to 1962 with around 11,800 apartments for 30,000 residents on 218 hectares. The structurally condensed „Kurfürstenviertel“ was built till 1972 with the so-called „Großer Kurfürst“ building.
