history
Surname
The street from 1910 was named in 1928 after the writer Johann Wilhelm Kinau (1880-1916), who was known as Gorch Fock with many often maritime works (including Hein Godenwind , Seefahrt ist not , Doggerbank ). The street was previously called Helgoländer Straße . The Rudolf-Kinau-Weg in Süderwisch was named after his brother, the Low German writer Rudolf Kinau .
development
After Ritzebüttel and Alt-Cuxhaven had been united in 1872 , the local area was expanded more towards the west. In the area of this street, social housing was built in the 1920s by the housing company Bauhütte Cuxhaven, founded by the labor movement in 1922 . The managing director of the Bauhütte was the Second Mayor Karl Olfers (SPD), who had a lasting impact on the cityscape of Cuxhaven through the clinker facade. Today the multi-family houses belong to the settlement company Cuxhaven AG .
In terms of traffic, the road is affected by the KVG bus line 1018 (Poststrasse).
