Stresemannstrasse was named in 1929 - shortly after his death - after the Reich Chancellor and Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann (1878–1929) ( DVP ). In 1926 Stresemann received the Nobel Peace Prize together with the French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand .

In 1933 the Nazis renamed the Street of Freedom , which was reversed after 1945.

development

From Alt-Lehe the Postweg / Poststrasse led south. In the area of ​​today's Melchior-Schwoon-Straße, an old loop of the Geest had to be crossed. The first wooden Leher Bridge from 1752 replaced the ferry. In 1791 this bridge on Reuterhamm was renewed with a similar wooden bridge. Here on March 25, 1813, a battle between 700 French soldiers against troops from Wursten , Lehe and Debstedt took place. Since then the bridge has been called the Franzosenbrücke . It was renewed several times and existed until the Geeste was straightened in 1894/95. Then there was a new Leher bridge south of the current bridge on Stresemannstraße until 1947 .

In 1827, with the establishment of Bremerhaven, an upward trend began in Mitte and Lehe. In the core of Lehe, Hafenstrasse was the central thoroughfare around 1880 . The independent communities of Geestemünde, Bremerhaven (today Mitte) and Lehe grew together as a built-up urban area; there was no efficient road link.

Reichsstrasse 6, later Bundesstrasse 6 , led from Cuxhaven to Breslau and since 1937 from Wesermünde via Langen to Cuxhaven, initially through Hafenstrasse. The connection Geestemünde over the Geeste with its often closed swing bridge, further via Bürgermeister-Smidt-Straße , Lloyd-, Hafenstraße to Lange Straße / Nordstraße , was overloaded.

From 1925 there were initial plans for the expansion of the road between Rhein- and Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße (today Heinrich-Schmalfeldt-Straße), from 1927 to 1931 the first expansion measures (Geeste bridges, embankments) were carried out. A construction section from Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße to Poststraße was completed by 1931. In 1935 the Navy pointed out that the connections between Geestemünde and Lehe had to be significantly improved. In 1937 there was an expansion plan for the Straße der Freiheit as an eastern bypass between Geestemünde and Flötenkiel in Lehe with two cross connections to Hafenstraße (roughly where they were later realized). In 1938/39 a four-lane concrete road was expanded from Rheinstrasse to Melchior-Schwoon-Strasse, with the sidewalks and cycle paths not following until after 1950.

After the Second World War , the northern breakthrough came in 1955 as Bundesstraße 6 from Melchior-Schwoon-Straße to Flötenkiel in the direction of Langener Landstraße and Cuxhaven. At the end of the 1970s, after the opening of the Federal Motorway 27 , this part of the B 6 was replaced by the A 27. Melchior-Schwoon-Straße was expanded in 1957 as an important cross-connection to Hafenstraße.

In 1980, a new, six-lane Geeste bridge replaced the bridge from 1929. The road was expanded in this area.
