history

The Lange Straße was a long street in the core of the old Lehe for the village of Lehe and that is how it was called.

development

The spots Lehe won a meaning as a ship's berth at the Geeste and the official residence, a market town and the Leher court of 1400. A first fortified church is supposed to be (first mentioned in 1310) in the Long Street / road and rail road built around the 1200th These paths were part of the core of Alt-Lehe. The parish church was named Dionysius Church in the Middle Ages . The church was rebuilt after the fire of 1801 in 1803.

From 1801 there was the Reformed School in the sexton house with a new schoolhouse from 1861 and an extension from 1886. From 1939 it was called the Alt-Leher School . In 1821 there were 1,545 inhabitants in Lehe.

In 1827, with the founding of Bremerhaven, Lehes ascent began. The Landratshaus Lehe dates from 1830, the Hanoverian office from 1851. In 1885 Lehe had 10,955 inhabitants. The core of Lehe was on Hafenstrasse from around 1880.

traffic

The nearby Lehe station was built in 1914 on the Bremerhaven – Cuxhaven railway line .
Lange Straße was initially a one-way street in parts, then the entire street. Since the beginning of the 20th century, car traffic has led north through Lange Strasse and south through Nordstrasse. It was not until the 1950s that the breakthrough came as Bundesstraße 6 from Melchior-Schwoon-Straße to Flötenkiel in the direction of Langener Landstraße.

Since 1881 there was a horse-drawn tram in Lehe , which was extended from Lehe to Speckenbüttel in 1896. In 1908 it was modernized to an electric tram company with 5 lines.
From 1960 to 1982 the tram ran with lines 2 ( Geestemünde - bus depot city limits Langen) and 3 (main station - Rotersand - Rickmersstrasse - Lehe station ) through Lange Strasse and Nordstrasse, line 3 only until 1964.
