After Bremerhaven was founded (1827), the old port , the new port and then the imperial ports were built . Alt-Bremerhaven (center) and Lehe grew rapidly until 1900 and had 20,315 and 24,301 inhabitants respectively. Rental houses were urgently needed for the workers in the ports.

The residential buildings, mostly tenement houses, were built in the building epochs of historicism and the turn of the century in the style of neo-renaissance , neo-gothic , late classicism and later art nouveau and neo-baroque .
Some houses are crooked because they were inadequately founded. Windows and doors were adapted to the inclination of the houses.

Course of the floodplain through the Goethe quarter

The stream, the floodplain, which flowed into the Geeste , still ran in the Goethe district until 1971 . With the expansion of the sewer system , it lost its function and was filled in.

The corner bars of the common people shaped the picture in the quarter, like on the corner of Goethe- and Heinrichstraße.
