The picturesque Böttcherstraße in the heart of the Hanseatic city of Bremen is known for its ornate brick architecture. The Böttcherstraße Museums (Museen Böttcherstraße) provide the architectural and cultural highlight of the Böttcherstraße ensemble. They include the Ludwig Roselius Museum, a 16th-century patrician house typical of old Bremen, and the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum, which was designed by the sculptor, decorative artist and architect Bernhard Hoetger.
