Demolition of the oasis in the Weserpark: an end with rubble and questions!

shock for wellness fans in bremen: The well -known "oasis" in the Weserpark was demolished. The demolition is now almost complete and has left impressive rubble mountains made of mortar, concrete and brick. In the past, a popular contact point for everyone who is looking for relaxation is now shown in a completely changed picture. The sauna landscape has been increasingly in need of renovation in recent years, which accelerated the events. But what exactly led to this dramatic turn?

A central reason for the closure was Corona pandemic. This made the company impossible for some time, which ultimately led to bankruptcy. As reported Kreiszeitung, on March 18, 2020, the Senate was imposed, which abruptly stopped all business activities. Managing Director Helmuth Gaber was faced with a strong drop in customers - before the pandemic, the "Oasis" counted around 300,000 guests a year. High energy costs and increasing competition in Bremen and the surrounding area also contributed to the difficulties that ultimately resulted in bankruptcy.

bankruptcy and its consequences

The bankruptcy application brought the appointment of the Bremen lawyer Berend Böhme as a provisional insolvency administrator. The goal of the insolvency administrator is clear: a quick resumption of business operations and the search for a long -term perspective. In the first three months after the application, wages and salaries are secured for the employees by the insolvency loss allowance. Nevertheless, the industry remains under pressure- the entire sauna and wellness world is fighting with the effects of pandemic and an unsettled clientele.

A few years earlier, the situation for the "oasis" looked very different. Millions were put into the expansion, conversion plans for new pools were in the Mache. But the pandemic questioned this progress. The closure of the "oasis" did not come as a surprise in a year, which was also catastrophic for many other industries: according to Schultze-Braun, the German economy in 2020 has experienced the greatest break-in since the bigest depression in the 1930s Years.

uncertain future

While the city is more and more dealing with the demolition work that now takes place, the question arises of the future use of the property. There are currently no concrete plans, the center management of the Weser Park initially only has internal concepts in the drawer. What will come for the concrete field after the "oasis"? This uncertainty hangs in the air.

The loss of such an attractive leisure offer is regretted by many Bremen. Who will follow the successor? The dissolution combines grief about the past and the hope of something new. So let's stay excited and hope that the decisions will come soon and that the Weser Park will bloom again soon.
