A gastronomic institution is leaving Bremen: after almost 30 years, the restaurant in the Schnoor district is closing – just two weeks later there is a successor.
“Over! Over! And over!”: With these words, the operators of the popular restaurant “Schrรถter’s Leib & Seele” in Bremen’s Schnoor district announced their farewell on social networks. The last meal was served in the traditional restaurant at the end of September, and the new owner took over on October 1st.
The family decided to โgo different ways,โ wrote boss Daniel Schrรถter in the post. And further: “We leave with a crying and a laughing eye and look back on the many years that are now behind us and look forward to the many years that are still to come!”
Not only was the restaurant abandoned, but the tents in the Schnoor district were completely demolished. This means: In addition to the restaurant, the family also sold all nine properties that they had previously owned in the historic area. This is what the โWeser Kurierโ writes. The properties were sold to a Hamburg real estate company, according to the report.
Daniel Schrรถter, as he told the โWeser Kurierโ, had increasingly lost his interest in cooking after the corona pandemic. That’s why he advertised some of the family’s properties back in the summer. Interested parties immediately contacted us and the final offer was so good that he didn’t want to miss it.
Just a few days after the end of “Schrรถter’s Leib & Seele”, the head of the new restaurant “Levante”, Walid Abu-Dib, took over. He has been serving oriental or Syrian cuisine since October 1st and has set himself the goal of passing on the cuisine of his homeland “with hospitality and a modern flair.” It offers guests โnot only a culinary experience, but also a small insight into a rich and deeply rooted culture,โ says the restaurantโs website.
Luxury is at home on the outskirts of Bremen; the Lรผrssen shipyard regularly delivers superlative yachts. A selection of spectacular projects.
Bremen is not exactly known for its wealth – and yet the world’s wealthiest people are regular customers in the Hanseatic city. Your destination: The Lรผrssen shipyard in Lemwerder, where floating luxury is at home. t-online presents the group’s spectacular projects.
Nothing more is possible – at least when it comes to length: at 181 meters, the “Azzam” is considered the longest private mega-yacht in the world. It belongs to none other than Muhammad bin Zayid Al Nahyan, ruler of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Diesel and gas engines with a whopping 94,000 hp power power the โAzzamโ. Cost: around 530 million euros.
The โAphoโ measures โonlyโ 115 meters and reportedly cost โonlyโ 315 million euros, but passengers do not have to do without luxury here. According to Lรผrssen, the mega yacht is equipped with numerous facilities for sports and activities, such as an extra-large fitness room and a spacious wellness area.
The yacht also impresses with numerous technical amenities, such as a heat recovery system and a sophisticated anchoring system. The ship was delivered in 2021, but was sold again by the then owner Michael Lee-Chin in 2023, according to several media outlets.
The “Blue” is an impressive 160 meters long and, according to reports, belongs to an old acquaintance of the scene: Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, co-owner of the English football club Manchester City, among other things, reportedly had the magnificent piece cost around 540 million euros . You can find out more about this here.
According to Lรผrssen, the mega-yacht features, among other things, โa highly efficient diesel-electric hybrid drive concept,โ which was developed by the shipyard itself. An electric azimuth pod drive and a โstate-of-the-art exhaust aftertreatment systemโ are added here.
The “Ronin” was completed in 1993, but it still sails across the world’s oceans in “immaculate condition,” writes Lรผrssen on his website. Although the yacht only measures 59 meters, it impresses with โradical, geometric shapes by Sir Norman Fosterโ and is one of the โicons in the global yacht fleetโ. The owner was originally a Japanese businessman. Nothing is known about the price. However, the yacht, which somewhat resembles a combat ship, can be rented for around 340,000 euros per week.
School assistants in Lower Saxony are demanding higher pay. The wages are still based on a decree on the use of school assistants from 1994 – this must change, said the Education and Science Union (GEW) in Lower Saxony and the Lower Saxony-Bremen regional branch of the Verdi union. The unions want to draw attention to this today (8:30 a.m.) at a rally in front of the state parliament in Hanover. The Ministry of Education wants to address the issue.

Among other things, school assistants support teachers in preparing lessons or school events. At the time of the original decree, they mainly made copies or procured and repaired overhead projectors, said a Verdi spokesman. Nowadays, the assistants set up digital boards, among other things, or take care of the students’ tablets and school administration systems. “Those who carry out such demanding tasks must also be paid better,” said the deputy state chairwoman of the GEW Lower Saxony, Isabel Rojas.
Ministry of Culture is working on a solution
Teaching or looking after technical equipment should “of course not be part of the range of tasks” of the assistants, said a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Education. The institution is currently working on a new definition of the field of work. It is being examined which tasks school assistants could take on in the future, also with a view to digitization. The remuneration should also be examined “with a view to possible new areas of activity”. The aim is to adapt the tasks to the current requirements of the schools and “to create a practical framework for both the employees and the schools”.
According to the Ministry of Education, there are currently around 660 school assistants employed at public general education schools in Lower Saxony. According to a survey recently conducted by the GEW and Verdi, they are highly valued in schools. According to the survey, 92 percent of the teachers surveyed in Lower Saxony said that it would be an additional burden if the school assistants only took on the tasks that were originally intended for them. 84 percent said that the students would then hardly be able to learn with modern work equipment.
