history

In 1929/30, with the participation of the fishing industry, 248 beds were built for single workers in the fish industry in Ibbrigheim for women from the city of Wesermünde in order to be able to accommodate seasonal workers for the fishing port . The five-storey building has two side stepped gables . The women came mainly from the Ruhr area and Hanover . The house had not paid off in view of the global economic crisis and rental apartments were built soon afterwards.

At the time of National Socialism in Bremerhaven , the Ibbrigheim women's camp had existed since 1943. Here were Polish and Croatian forced laborers housed who had to work in the fishing industry. In September 1944, when a bomb hit a barracks, all of the women’s children were killed.

Fish workers, mostly refugees, lived in the building again from 1947. With the boom in the fishing industry in Bremerhaven , Spanish, Greek and Portuguese women were also recruited, and later guest workers from Turkey and Yugoslavia . The employment contracts were usually concluded for a period of nine months; Women workers as an "economic buffer". In fact, the women then mostly worked for a longer period of time at companies such as u. a. the Nordsee Deutsche Hochseefischerei GmbH. The women lived together in the home and shared the kitchen and shower.
After the demise of the fishing industry in Bremerhaven, the house was used as a home for young girls.

The building was rebuilt and renovated and now houses rental and owner-occupied apartments.
