For problems that occur after hours please call 574-546-3456. There are roughly 28.2 miles of streets in Bremen. The Street Department provides maintenance of town streets, alleys, and parking lots. The department also handles brush pick-up, leaf pick-up, snow & ice removal, street sign maintenance, and street sweeping. Street Sweeping Clean sidewalks and streets are important in making a neighborhood an enjoyable place to live. Keeping sidewalks clean is the responsibility of the property owner. Our sweeping program operates from early spring through late fall. After spring clean-up, we sweep on an as-needed basis which is usually one week a month. Snow and Ice Removal The Street Department has 7 pieces of snow removal equipment. During a large snow event the streets are plowed first and then the alleyways are plowed. There are 7 routes that are taken care of. Each route takes about 4 hours on a normal snowfall. With the assistance of the Water Department we will have 7 guys out plowing during an average snowfall. We ask that people clearing sidewalks and driveways not to place the snow in the street as this can create a hazard to motorists. Brush and Leaf Collection The department picks up brush on Mondays. We do not pick up garden waste or grass clippings. These items can be taken to the Yard Waste Facility located at the end of North Marshall street. In the event of storm damage, debris will be cleared from the streets first and then we will come back and pick up limbs. Our guys load most of the branches around town by hand. It would be greatly appreciated if limbs could be cut to a manageable size and placed in the tree lawn not the street.

Our Community > History History Incorporated in 1871, Bremen was founded by a group of German settlers who first named the community "New Bremen". As time progressed, the "New" was slowly omitted and the town became known as "Bremen". The first streets were paved with brick in 1913, some of which still exist today. Surrounded by rich black soil, Bremen found its niche as a producer of mint. Recognized as a leader in the agricultural field for its mint production, Northern Indiana became known as the mint capital of the nation. As mint acreage increased throughout the northwest, states like Oregon and Washington have since inherited the title of the mint capitol. However, Bremen still retains its nickname as the "Mint City". At the town's core stands the "standpipe," a soaring 101-foot landmark, honored with the title of an American Historic Water Landmark by the American Water Works Association in 1975. Erected in 1882 with a 30,000-gallon capacity, it served the community dutifully until its retirement in 1955. One of the community's most recognizable citizens is Otis R. Bowen , Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Ronald Reagan. Holding positions such as member of the Indiana House of Representatives, and Speaker of the House, Bowen was eventually elected Governor of Indiana in 1972. It was from 1985-1989 that Bowen was appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Ronald Reagan. Historic Bremen Depot was re-dedicated to the Town of Bremen on May 1, 2011. The Bremen Historical Society engaged in an effort to move, restore, and revitalize the historic train depot. The depot now sits at the corner of US 6 and US 106 and functions as a historical museum recounting the events, stories, and lives of those who have worked to establish this great community.
