Perhaps someone misspelling https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremervörde ? Could it be that that’s not the correct spelling? Did your uncle write that or someone else? Just asking to find out if it could have been misheard. The first part looks like “Bremmen…” to me, the second part is hard to read. If it’s misspelled, there would be more options, found a few misspellings of Bremen with double m. Do you happen to know the general area he was from? North, south, east?
