Bremer Tor can host weddings, company parties and family celebrations for up to 270 guests at long tables in its Großer Saal, with three more rooms, the restaurant and a terrace for smaller groups. The restaurant and event venue is in Delmenhorst, in the Heidkrug district, on the road to Bremen.
Seminars and company events
Bremer Tor sells company parties rather than conferences. Teams book it for Christmas parties, the X-Mas Party evenings, a Christmas brunch and New Year's Eve. In winter it runs Kohlfahrten, the northern German custom in which a group walks out together, plays games on the way and ends the day at the table over kale and sausages. In the region these are a common team outing between January and March. The venue does not list meeting rooms or presentation equipment, so a working seminar is not its format. A party for a whole company, on the other hand, fits the large hall well.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are at the center of the business. The terrace is set up for free, non-religious ceremonies, and the reception then moves inside to the Großer Saal or the Diele. The team offers personal consultation, buffet and menu suggestions, drinks packages and decoration concepts. Birthdays, anniversaries and other family celebrations are also hosted, as are funeral receptions, which have their own packages. Couples and organisers can book a visit before deciding.
Rooms and capacities
The Großer Saal spans two floors. The lower level alone seats 60 to 100 at round tables or 100 to 160 at long tables; with both levels it seats 170 at round tables or 270 at long tables. The Kleiner Saal takes 40 at round tables or 28 around one oval table. The Diele, in a rustic style, seats 50 to 70 at round tables or 80 at long tables. The restaurant serves 15 to 120 guests, and several of its rooms can be combined. The terrace seats 20 to 60 at round tables.
Catering
All catering is done in-house, from buffets to served menus, with drinks packages to match. The kitchen also prepares a Christmas take-away offer and a run of seasonal events listed in the venue's calendar, which give an idea of its cooking before a booking.
History and setting
Bremer Tor is run by Bremer Tor Gefken GmbH. In April 2023 it moved into the former Gasthaus Schierenbeck, a long-established inn in Heidkrug on Bremer Straße. The building combines a classic hall, a rustic Diele and a terrace, which gives each type of celebration its own setting.
Getting there
The venue is at Bremer Straße 327 in Delmenhorst. Delmenhorst-Heidkrug station, on the line between Bremen and Oldenburg, is close by, and Bremen city center is about 20 minutes by car. Bremen airport is about 20 minutes by road. There are no bedrooms on site, so guests who stay overnight book hotels in Delmenhorst or Bremen.
