development

The Leh district of Speckenbüttel with today over 3000 inhabitants developed north of Alt-Lehe from the late 19th century, when after Bremerhaven was founded, Lehes began to rise from a patch to a town (1920). Before that, the Schützenhof had been in Speckenbütteler Holz since 1854 . The district is characterized by the Speckenbütteler Park (formerly the Alte Holz ) on the edge of the Leher Feldmark, which has slowly emerged since 1848.

traffic

As early as 1896, the northern end of the Bremerhaven tram was the park gate in Speckenbüttel. At first it ran as a horse-drawn tram and it was electrified in 1908 and replaced by buses as line 2 in 1982.

In the BremerhavenBus local traffic, lines 502 and ML pass through the street.
