Helenenstraße

The Helenenstraße is a street in the Stone Gate locality in the eastern suburbs of Bremen, Germany. The street was built in the 19th century and is known for prostitution.

The building contractor Carl Philip Weiland erected the buildings of today's Helenenstraße, which he originally planned as a connecting street between Vor dem Steintor and Auf der Kuhlen. A widow, Helene Engelken, denied him the sale of her land preventing the street joining Auf der Kuhlen, so the street became a cul-de-sac off of Vor dem Steintor. It is the only real dead-end in this part of Bremen. The building contractor named the street from the widow's first name. The Helenenstraße was built in a Wilhelminian style, which is also seen in other Bremen houses of the era.
