Expansion of the district

Part of the district of Fehrmoor is separated from the rest of the city by a narrow strip of Lower Saxony and is therefore an exclave of the city and the state.

history

The names

The word part Lehe stands for the Old High German word Lieth , which means something like hill. Like the eponymous district of Lehe, Leherheide lies on the foothills of the Hohen Lieth , which was formed in the Ice Age , on the Geestrücken between Cuxhaven and Lehe. The second part of Leher Haide's word only indicates that there was a lot of heather in the sandy area.

In the northeast of Leherheide there was the Fehr -, Feer -, Veer -, Fer - or Fernemoor , which gave the district Fehrmoor its name as a field name of a "distant" moor.

The King of Hanover is said to have ridden through the later district of Königsheide and set up camp. Hanover was a kingdom from 1814/15 to 1866.

Early development

Stone Age and Bronze Age finds indicate earlier smaller settlements. In medieval writings, a mill for supplying the Sieverdesburg in the distant moor was mentioned, which was built around 1343/44 by Bremen's Archbishop Burchard Grelle near Sievern . The lords or knights of Bederkesa administered the castle and mill until both were destroyed in 1500. Grazing rights, property boundaries and the division of the common land as common property have been documented. An agricultural area of ​​the municipality of Lehe is initially developing here; so the place wasn't a grown old village.

From 1846 there was an influx of agricultural workers from Mecklenburg who found work in the port of Bremerhaven. Johann Krüger with his house on today's Fehrmoorweg was named as the first settler on the Leher Haide in the Leher Feldmarkt from this time. The common land was dissolved in 1846 and divided among the citizens who were entitled to vote. In the nearby moor, peat was cut as heating material. Disputes between the settlers from Lehe, Spaden and Land Wursten , mainly because of the use of the Ferne Moor , today Fehrmoor, and of pastures in the Kranslisten and Pleddernbach , had to be settled. Clausen's farm came in 1850 , later Gut Blumenaurin . In 1870 there were only seven settlements. In 1894 the first school was built on Mecklenburger Weg.

Around 1900 there was a settlement in the areas around Langener Landstrasse with a center at the intersection with Debstedter Weg . In 1901, Lehe built a waterworks on Debstedter Weg.

In 1909 the Lehe volunteer fire brigade - Leherheide department - was founded. The first military leader was the building contractor Dankrot Hesse. In 1909 the Leherheider School was inaugurated on Debstedter Weg. In 1911 a department of the Leher Turnerschaft (LTS) was established in Leherheide. This became the TSV Leherheide and later the Sport-Freizeit-Leherheide (SFL) club. From 1911 to the early 1920s, there was a windmill on Ginsterweg. Since 1919, the extended tram line, today's BVV bus routes, ran via Speckenbüttel through Leherheide.

From 1921 to 1923, one- and two-family houses were built in groups between Debstedter Weg, Mecklenburger Weg, Hermann-Löns-Straße and Pappelweg.

In 1923 the brothers Gustav and Georg Thiele bought a piece of land. A small sculpture park of around 20,000 m² was created, which the city acquired in 1985.

In 1935, on the initiative of North German Lloyd, the horseshoe-shaped settlement Seefahrt was built on Buchenweg with 42 houses for its seafarers. Each of the sideline houses had 1000 m² of land.

In 1936 the Reformed Church on Heideschulweg and the Lutheran Johanneskirche on Langener Landstrasse were consecrated. The sermons of the opposition pastors were monitored by the Gestapo .

In Stadtwerke forest , a water plant, which was expanded in 1962 developed. The tram ran on the western edge through Leherheide (until 1982) from Lehe to Langen-Friedrichsruh and from 1958 to the city limits in Langen. In 1961, the bus station was put into operation at the city limits of Langen.

1950 saw the start of construction on the settlement on Brillemoor, which was named Bernhard Lohmüller settlement in 1952 .

In 1955 the Protestant St. Mark's Church was inaugurated on Entenmoorweg and in 1964 that of St. Luke 's Church on Hans-Böckler-Straße. In 1957 the US chapel on Mecklenburg Weg was converted into the Catholic St. Ansgar Church and expanded.

Expansion to the district

When after the Second World War Bremerhaven needed large areas for the rapidly increasing demand for housing, the new building area in the Leherheide-West district was built from the beginning of the 1960s to the 1970s, mainly by the housing association Neue Heimat , later GEWOBA . Around half of the inhabitants of Leherheide live here. By 1964 3,500 apartments had been built and Leherheide had 12,000 residents. Schools were established: in 1962 a primary school on Mecklenburg Weg / the corner of Brombeerweg and in 1967 the Heinrich-Heine School as a secondary school . A cultural community was established in 1964.

In 1970 the indoor swimming pool in the north opened, and in 1971 the Johann Gutenberg School and the Karl Marx School were established as a primary and now all-day school.

In 1971, Leherheide became a district through a redistribution of the districts in Bremerhaven.

The A 27 motorway has been free to travel since 1974 . Leherheide is accessed through the Überseehäfen / Leherheide exit . The first section of the Cherbourger Straße motorway feeder from Wurster Straße to Langener Landstraße was handed over in 1971. An expansion of the motorway feeder with a tunnel section is now expected to be completed by 2020 after several years of legal disputes against the expansion plans.

In 1975 the Hans-Gabrich-Sporthalle on Kurt-Schumacher-Strasse was handed over.

traffic

Public transport

Bremerhaven Versorgungs- und Verkehrs-GmbH connects Leherheide with nine lines to the other parts of the city. Until 1982 there was also a tram line running from Geestemünde along the western edge of Leherheide to the city limits of Langen. The eastern part, at that time only single buildings, received a bus connection in the early 1950s. However, the densely populated new districts from around 1960 were never connected to the tram network, one reason for the decline of the tram.

Private transport

Leherheide can be reached by car via the former federal highway 6 and the federal highway 27 (junction Leherheide / Überseehäfen) via Cherbourger Straße . In addition to the latter, the main thoroughfares of the district are Langener Landstrasse (formerly B 6) and Hans-Böckler-Strasse, as well as Debstedter Weg and Mecklenburger Weg.
