A walk to the \u201c\u00dcberseestadt\u201d district in Bremen took us to an almost forgotten area. These grounds were the birthplace of Coffee Hag, a great coffee manufactory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In 1906, Ludwig Roselius founded the Kaffee-Aktien-Gesellschaft (Kaffee HAG), the first company in the world to produce decaffeinated coffee. In Bremen, he built his factory in the timber port. In consecutive phases of construction, several buildings were built after plans by Hugo Wagner (1906-1907) and Hildebrand and G\u00fcnthel (1899, 1914-1915) in today’s Hag Street and on the Fabrikufer in Bremen-Walle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tIn 1907 the company was able to start production. It processed 13,000 pounds of coffee a day. The innovation was that production was done with conveyor belts. In the First World War, the coffee production was stopped but could be resumed in 1922.
\nIn 1929 Roselius extended production. The cacao pulver Kaba and in 1950 the coffee brand Onko were included in the product range. In 1979 the company was sold.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old factory buildings are now part of the Bremen monuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took a little detour to see the buildings in the \u00dcberseestadt during our visit to Bremen. Even today you can find a coffee roastery in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company Lloyd Kaffee operates a roasting mill and a coffee shop here. There are seminars on the subject of coffee and you can, of course, buy freshly roasted coffee. The smell of fresh coffee was simply wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
