The dike road was named after the dike on the Geeste. Bussestrasse in Geestemünde had the same name before it was renamed.

development

After the ports were built (from 1827), Bremerhaven slowly expanded around 1850 to the east in the direction of Geeste and to the north. The road accompanied the dike on the Geeste. The destroyed town hall at the Alten Volksgarten on Deichstrasse was inaugurated in 1927 with the participation of Reich Foreign Minister Stresemann . In the three-storey building according to plans by Kettner and Hagedorn , the existing, renovated hall with 1400 seats was included and further halls as well as a singers hall, the terraced concert garden to the Geeste for 1500 listeners with the music pavilion, a restaurant, a winter garden and other rooms were created. Concerts, cabaret and variety performances and free market events took place here.

In World War II, almost all the houses were destroyed. In Bremerhaven, the Bremerhaven City School Board Walter Zimmermann founded the educational seminar at the Uhland School on Deichstrasse in 1945, the tasks of which were taken over by the Bremen University of Education from 1948 . The reconstruction is characterized by the five high-rise apartment buildings from the 1950s, which at intervals dominate the street. The Goetheschule Bremerhaven from 1956 followed during this time. In 1985 and 1989, respectively, the buildings for the Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences were built on the site of the former Karlsburg brewery . Subsequently, eleven gabled houses were built in 1983/86.

There has been a horse-drawn tram since 1881. From 1898 to 1908 it was converted into an electric tram company with 5 lines, which touched the street on Hafenstraße and Fährstraße with line 2 until 1982.

In BremerhavenBus' local transport, lines 501, 502, 508, 509 and NL touch the street on Lloydstraße and lines 502, 505, 506, 508, 509, ML and NL on Fährstraße.
