history

The Rheinstrasse was named after the 1232.7 km long Rhine , the largest river in Germany. It was previously called Leher Chaussee , which led to the municipality of Lehe .

development

From 1845 Geestemünde was laid out as a port city by the Kingdom of Hanover , with a street grid, which later also included Rheinstrasse. The Christ Church in Bremerhaven-Geestemünde was inaugurated in 1875, the wooden port of Geestemünde was built in 1877 and the power station on the street in 1902. In 1924 Lehe and Geestemünde merged into Wesermünde and in 1939 Alt-Bremerhaven (now center) was added. In 1934 there was a major fire in the Holzhafen; it lost its purpose and was reduced by two thirds. In 1938/39 a four-lane concrete road was expanded from Rheinstrasse to Melchior-Schwoon-Strasse.
