The Bürgermeister-Smidt-Brücke in Bremen, at the head of the Teerhof, spans the Weser to both banks, running through the heart of the German city-state. Mayor Johann Smidt was a well-known statesman in the first half of the 19th century. He is perhaps best known for founding Bremerhaven, a move intended to save the ailing Hanseatic city from the increasingly silted-up river. As a senator, he represented the city-state at the Congress of Vienna, where the new German Confederation took shape. Smidt took particular care to ensure that the determination of citizenship for Jews residing in the territory would remain a matter for the respective German states. His life’s work was to exclude Bremen’s Jews from social and political life. The Bürgermeister-Smidt-Brücke was named after Smidt in the wake of the inadequate denazification efforts following World War II. HANSA BOY ETWAS DAS KOMMT NIE WIEDER VOR addresses the bridge’s namesake directly. The film seeks to reveal the fate embedded within the unspeakable history inherent in the structure’s name.
