history

Old town hall in Lehe

In 1865 the two-storey building was initially built as a poor house and orphanage in the same form as the old school on Leher Markt. In 1887, according to plans by Carl Pogge, it was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style with rich decorations. It was then used as an artillery barracks. In 1907, the building was expanded to include new offices based on plans by Heinrich Lagershausen. A small tower crowned the three-story extension.

After the Second World War , the building was the headquarters of the building administration. Renovation work took place in the 1980 / 1990s. In 2004, the building administration moved to the new Technical Town Hall.

After that, the building will serve as the new justice center for the Bremerhaven District Court from 1917, which is located on the nearby Nordstrasse . The Bremen-Bremerhaven Labor Court has housed individual chambers in the building. Furthermore, the probate court and facilities of the youth welfare office of the city of Bremerhaven , and since 2005 the care association Bremerhaven are located here .

In 1984 the town hall was placed under monument protection.

In 2013 and 2014, extensive renovation measures were carried out on the west and north facades for around one million euros.

The south facade was renovated in 2017. The city of Bremerhaven provided 250,000 euros as funding, and Bremerhaven received an additional 100,000 euros that was not to be repaid from the federal government's special monument protection program for the preservation of cultural monuments.
