Neuengroden is a district in the northeast of Wilhelmshaven in Lower Saxony. Neighboring districts are Altengroden in the northwest (west of Lönsweg), Rüstersiel in the northeast, Rüstringer Stadtpark in the west (border Lönsweg, Neuengrodener Weg and Friedensstrasse) and Heppens in the south (southeast of Friedensstrasse). In the east, from Friesendamm, the industrially used area of ​​the Heppenser Groden connects with the oil port and parts of the base of the German Navy and the Rustersieler Groden .

history

Neuengroden's prehistory is closely linked to the history of dyke construction. Because it was only through the construction of the Neuengroden dike in 1520 that the land on which Neuengroden lies today could be won. Freiligrathstraße, which runs through the whole of Neuengroden, runs roughly in the direction of the former dike. A provisional settlement was built west of Freiligrathstrasse at the beginning of World War II. It has been fundamentally modernized over the past few years. To the east of Freiligrathstrasse, mainly terraced and single-family houses were built. Allotment garden associations contribute to the green image of Neuengroden.

Infrastructure

The townscape is characterized by terraced and single-family houses as well as numerous allotment gardens . On the former site of the former Frisia sports club on Triftweg, the Erich-Kästner-Ring development area is being built with 31 new residential buildings.

In Neuengroden there is the former Catholic branch church St. Michael , which belongs to the municipality of St. Willehad, but which was profaned in 2013 and has since been used by the Maltese relief service . The larger Protestant congregation with the St. Thomas Church is located in the center of the district. Both parishes have a kindergarten. The Neuengroden primary school, which was built in 1900, was closed at the beginning of the 2009/2010 school year. The cemetery in Friedensstrasse is also part of Neuengroden.

At 5.7%, the unemployment rate is below the Wilhelmshaven average of 9.3% (as of December 15, 2010).

To the west of Neuengroden lies the Rüstringen city park with a pond where you can go pedal boating in summer, the "Bootshaus" restaurant and the cemetery of honor . To the east of Neuengroden is the Wilhelmshaven oil port and parts of the naval arsenal .
