The eponymous street Ebkeriege crosses the district diagonally from southeast to northwest.

history

The name Ebkeriege goes back to an old Maadedeich between the Schaarzeile and Mariensiel, which probably already existed around 1150 and was on the south side of the former Maadebucht . First a path was built on the old dike , later the Ebkeriege road, which was one of the most important access routes to Wilhelmshaven when the Prussian jade region was settled. This dike, now the street and district name, was named after the owner of the land at the eastern end of the row, the Scheling Ebbeke or Ibbeke. As Scheling (= dike judge), he supervised the maintenance work on the dike that was incumbent on the dykes.

The name of the Junkerei district comes from a former farm on the Ebkeriege. The name Groß Belt also comes from a homestead that is still on Oldenburger Straße today.

Today the Ebkeriege is mainly characterized by the large number of commercial enterprises. In the 1980s and 1990s in particular, many commercial companies set up shop here.

The Ebkeriege military barracks of the same name are located in the Ebkeriege district . It was built during the Second World War and initially served as a workers' camp.
