history

Surname

Pestalozzistraße was named after the Swiss pedagogue, writer and philosopher Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827). He was an important school reformer. He is considered to be the forerunner of visual education and elementary education ("head, heart and hand"), whose work found great recognition in Switzerland, then in France, in Germany and around the world.

After the construction of the ports in Bremerhaven (from 1827), the Prussian lehe slowly expanded westwards from around 1850. Around 1900 there was already a compact four-storey building on the corner of Hafenstrasse and Pestalozzistrasse at Leher Tor. The old customs fence, which remained in place after 1888, secured rail operations. The inland customs station on Moltkestrasse, built in 1892, can be seen in the picture above on the left. The Zollinlandstadion was built on the rail shunting area in 1926 and was demolished in 2013.

In 1945 the British-American surrender as the occupying power took place at Leher Tor with British Lieutenant General Brian Horrocks and Major General Gordon Holmes Alexander McMillan as well as American Major General Charles H. Gerhardt.

The residential development between Frenssenstrasse and Rickmersstrasse came around 1955/56. The western area in Mitte was still undeveloped in the northern area in the 1960s, until the sports fields were created and then the school buildings followed in several construction stages.

traffic

There has been a horse-drawn tram since 1881. From 1898 to 1908 it was converted into an electric tram company with 5 lines, which touched the street on Hafenstraße and Rickmersstraße, in the end until 1982 with line 2.

In BremerhavenBus' local transport, lines 501, 502, 508, 509 and NL touch the street on Hafenstrasse and 505, 506, 511 and ML on Rickmersstrasse.
