history

Surname

Bundesarchiv Bild 183-R26426, Otto von Bismarck.jpg

The Bismarckstrasse was named after the first Chancellor of the German Empire Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898). He was Prime Minister of Prussia from 1862 to 1890 and Chancellor of the Reich from 1871 to 1890.

Before that the street was called Leherstraße.

development

From 1845 Geestemünde was laid out as a port city by the Kingdom of Hanover , with a street grid to which Leherstraße also belonged. In the city map from around 1901, Leherstrasse led to Schillerstrasse . Only then was it extended and renamed.

The Christ Church in Bremerhaven-Geestemünde was consecrated in 1875 . In 1875/77 the Holzhafen was built and in 1902 a power station was built on Leher Chaussee (today Rheinstrasse ).

The 64-hectare public park was laid out by 1908 . The hospital had been on Hartwigstrasse since 1905.

In 1914 the train station in Geestemünde was built, which later became the main train station . The Bremerhaven – Cuxhaven railway line from 1896 was added after 1914 between Lehe and the main train station and thus the road led under the railway line to the Bürgerpark. In 1924 Lehe and Geestemünde merged into Wesermünde and in 1939 Alt-Bremerhaven (now center) was added. In 1934 there was a major fire in the Holzhafen; it lost its purpose and was reduced in size by two-thirds. During the Second World War , many buildings in the western area near the port were destroyed.

traffic

The trolleybus line II ran through the road from 1949 to 1958.

In the BremerhavenBus local traffic, the lines 501, 503, 504, 505, 506, 507, 510 and HL go to the main station; in the weekend nights also the Moon-Liner (ML).
