history

Bremerhavenen-Mitte: market square around 1880 (today Theodor-Heuss-Platz)

North view over Mitte

On April 1, 1938, the port area of Bremerhaven was spun off and attached to the city of Bremen. On November 1, 1939, the Prussian city of Wesermünde was merged with the Bremen city of Bremerhaven. The new city was named Wesermünde and initially belonged to the Prussian province of Hanover .

The air raids on Wesermünde almost completely destroyed the Mitte district. He lost most of its population. By an agreement of the British and American occupation authorities in 1947, the urban and rural areas of Bremen and the urban district of Wesermünde were declared to be an administrative area to be designated as a country with retroactive effect from January 1, 1947. In 1947 the city of Wesermünde was renamed Bremerhaven by the state government, the Bremen Senate.

After the war there were only a few buildings left, including the burned-out city theater, the old department stores in Karstadt and Ketelsen and the ruins of the Great Church . According to plans by city planner Ernst May , the Mitte district was consistently aligned with the Weser and the docks in front of it. Reconstruction only began hesitantly from the 1960s, initially with the commercial buildings and the reconstruction of the Great Church on Bürgermeister-Smidt-Straße and then with the residential buildings and high-rise apartment buildings between Geeste and "Bürger". The Columbus Center was built in the early 1970s. In 1973 the German Maritime Museum was built according to plans by Hans Scharoun .

The Bremerhaven University was built in 1975 and expanded, with Gottfried Böhm had designed the central building. In 1980 the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) was created according to plans by Oswald Mathias Ungers . From 1982 the tram no longer ran through the citizens, which was transformed into a pedestrian zone through various extensions in the 1980s until around 2005 . The German Emigration Center was established in 2005.
