history

Surname

The street An der Mühle was initially named Mühlenstraße after the old windmill that stood east of Schillerstraße at the height of what would later become Spichernstraße. In 1938/39, after the merger with Bremerhaven, the Mitte district kept this street name and Geestemünde was renamed.

development

Marienkirche

The church village Geestendorf ( Gestenthorpe ) was mentioned for the first time in 1139, was owned by the Diocese of Bremen in the Middle Ages and from 1715 belonged to the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , later the Kingdom of Hanover . The Marienkirche was built in the Middle Ages.

After 1827, with the establishment of Bremerhaven, the neighboring Kingdom of Hanover built a port from 1844 to compete with it. This started the rise of Geestemünde, which was given this name in 1847. The road network in the Geestemünde district was built around 1850. In 1889 Geestemünde and Geestendorf were combined into Geestemünde. The Geestemünde water tower was built in 1891, and in 1900 the cooperative dairy in Mühlenstrasse (today An der Mühle).

75% of all buildings in Geestemünde were destroyed in the Second World War .

As early as 1891 the horse-drawn tram of the Bremerhaven tram touched Mühlenstrasse in Geestemünde.
