The farmsteads in the small town of Ganderse , which could be reached via stick dams , were abandoned around 1450 to 1500.

The Schützenhof in the park was built in 1854, but the Leh rifle festivals were held in Speckenbütteler Holz since 1835 . The rifle club of 1848 planted bushes and trees, paved paths and set up benches. The listed powder magazine Speckenbüttel , Siebenbergensweg 65, dates from 1874/75. In 1883 a Luther memorial was erected, which stood there for around 80 years.

The riding arena, which was laid out in 1888, was converted into a cycling track after 1900, which existed until 1919. In 1890 the design of the Speckenbütteler wood into the Speckenbütteler Park began , in which a folklore open-air museum for the rural culture of the region has been built since 1908 .

The horse-drawn tram from Lehe was extended to Speckenbüttel in 1896 and electrified in 1908. She drove through Parkstrasse until 1982 . Most of the upper middle class settled around the park in the 20th century. 2472 people lived there in 1950, then 3503 in 1974 and 3271 in 1999. Of the 3220 inhabitants in 2008, only 2% were foreigners.

In 1923 the General Turn- und Sport-Bund (ATSB) opened its sports facilities on the site of the former cycling track. The sports facility of the Leher Turnerschaft (LTS) was completed in 1951. In 1959 the Speckenbüttel outdoor pool was built. On July 28, 2002, the outdoor pool was closed after a fire in the cabin wing and was later demolished.

The Speckenbüttel industrial park in the north-west has been developing since the 1980s. The main marshalling yard in Speckenbüttel has also been in constant expansion since 1982. A new, large substation for the ports went into operation.

In 1984/86 the Lehe farmhouse association built a post mill in the park after previous mills had burned down in 1942 and 1983. In 2001 the station on the Bremerhaven – Cuxhaven railway line was abandoned for passenger traffic. The willow castle in the park was built in 2003 as a project by the Horticultural Office based on a design by the architect Marcel Kalberers. The high ropes course has been complementing the leisure activities in the "health park", as it is currently called, since 2003. An interactive wind turbine in Speckenbüttel has been operated by the Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences since 2010 .

East Prussia District

South of Speckenbütteler Park, the street names have been reminiscent of cities in lost territories of the German Reich since 1933 , between Wurster Strasse and the street named after Friedrich Timmermann in North Schleswig and West Prussia , between Wurster and Cherbourger Strasse in East Prussia :

They were built on with residential or terraced houses. The first makeshift buildings were rebuilt in such a way that their origin can hardly be recognized.
