history

Surname

The Lloydstrasse was named after the shipping company and the shipyard operations Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL). The Lloyd was temporarily the largest shipping company in Germany. The Lloyd ships Kaiser Wilhelm der Große , Kronprinz Wilhelm , Kaiser Wilhelm II. , Bremen and Europa carried the Blue Ribbon as the fastest ships on the transatlantic route Europe - New York at the time.

development

After Bremerhaven was founded (1827), the old port was built up to 1830 and the new port from 1847 to 1852 . From there Schleusenstraße led east to Bürgermeister-Smidt-Straße. In 1864, Schleusenstrasse was expanded and now named Lloydstrasse. In 1873 the street received a sewer system. In the eastern area, the street had been characterized by block perimeter development with apartment buildings since the 1890s.

During the Second World War all buildings were destroyed by bombing raids. The residential complex Lloydstrasse with the single-storey row of shops was built until 1954 and at the same time the Schiller School and a high-rise apartment building were built in record time.

There was a horse-drawn tram since 1881 . From 1898 to 1908 it was converted into an electric tram company with up to five lines.
