history

The Elbestraße was named after the Elbe river . It used to be part of the Alte Poststrasse .

development

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 place expanded from the Georgstrasse , which was expanded in 1860, also towards Alt-Bremerhaven. From 1857 to 1969 there was the mechanical engineering company M. Achgelis Söhne GmbH (later at Stinnes, 1964 at Krupp) on Elbestraße (in addition to the naval operation school ). The Geestemünde synagogue was built until 1878 in the area Schulstrasse 5 (memorial stone) / Ludwigstrasse / Alter Postweg (Elbestrasse) according to plans by Bernhard Scheller ; next to it was a primary school from 1864.

In 1935, Wesermünde , as the city was called at that time, was again a naval garrison town with, among other things, the location of the barracks and the Wesermünde naval school on Elbestrasse. From 1945 to 1957 the facility was used by the US Navy School and then by the German Navy .

The road - the Alte Postweg - became one of the most important routes from north to south after 1939 due to the connection to Stresemannstrasse and was Federal Highway 6 after 1945 until 1981, when it was replaced by Federal Motorway 27 . The traffic light crossing to Friedrich-Ebert-Straße was known, where the first traffic light system was installed in Bremerhaven in 1957 .

traffic

From 1908 to 1982 the electric tram ran through Geestemünde with lines 2 and 3 and crossed Elbestraße in the middle; Line 3 only until 1964.

Today (2020) the bus lines 503 (Leherheide West - Stadtverwaltung - Hauptbahnhof - Surheide ) and 507 (Spaden - Stadtverwaltung - Hauptbahnhof - Schiffdorf - Bramel) of the BremerhavenBus of the Bremerhaven Versorgungs- und Verkehrs-GmbH (BVV) operate here throughout the course .
