history

Settlement houses

On December 19, 1937, the foundation stone for the first 175 settlement houses in Otto Telschow City , named after Nazi Gauleiter Otto Telschow , was laid on Vieländer Weg . Schiffdorfer farmers of the Lower Saxony homestead had only sold the land under threat of expropriation. The settlers were shipyard and fishing port workers as well as seafarers, who maintained good contacts as settler communities. The Surheide settlement was part of the barracks clearance program. The first families to get a house were the large families who lived “on the Bult”. They lived behind the wire rope works, where the school and houses are now - in self-made houses. Only a dirt road led into the area. Otherwise there were gardens and meadows - a little further on was the “Imelspark” restaurant. The roads laid out in 1938 were named after rivers in Bavaria (Iller, Inn, Isar, Lech), in 1939 after places and landscapes in Austria and the Sudetenland (Egerland, Salzburg, Tyrol, Ostmark, Sudeten and Styria), which is a connection with Austria and the smashing of the rest of the Czech Republic. Other streets were named after well-known National Socialists. The school started teaching in 1940.

In 1945 the name of the settlement was changed to "Surheide". The streets named after National Socialists were also renamed: Donauplatz (formerly Platz der Alten Garde), Illerstrasse (Arthur Wiegels-Strasse [Wiegels was an SA man from the Elbmarsch]), Innstrasse ( Albert Leo Schlageter- Strasse), Isarstrasse ( Dietrich Eckart -Straße), Lechstraße ( Wilhelm Gustloff -Straße). Because of the Second World War it got stuck in its development and was almost forgotten. Until 1948, when the currency reformed, Surheide was also known in Central Germany; because here oil and fish could be exchanged for sugar, alcohol and important life goods. The expansion soon began in giant strides. The residents, appropriately organized in settler communities, have received several awards for their exemplary community work and their neat settlement in the state of Bremen and at the federal level. The Youth Red Cross received important impulses from here. Bernhard Lohmüller , Bremerhaven's first member of the Bundestag, lived in a housing estate in Surheide. The heyday of the settlement was in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1957 the Altmühlstrasse and in 1958 the Allgäuer Strasse were newly laid out. At that time Surheide had "three butchers, five shops, two hairdressers, two cobblers, two bakers, post office, savings bank, fish smokehouse, vegetable and coal trade, locksmiths, glaziers, dentists, gardeners". The Tuspo was founded in 1952, and on Dullmannsweg, today Wulsbergen, a sports facility was built in the 1950s, which was given a grass pitch in the 1980s. In 1950 the Bremerhaven Transport Company (VGB) connected the place briefly to 1951 with a bus line. The ev.-luth. Surheide Church of the Resurrection with the free-standing bell tower and its very pointed helmet was built in 1968.

In 1971 Surheide became a district through a redistribution of the districts in Bremerhaven.

Surname

Surheide is the youngest part of Bremerhaven. One possible interpretation of the place name: Sur comes from the south. The earlier field name means southern heather. Another interpretation says: Surheide comes from Low German and means "sour heather" because the field of the Schiffdorfer farmers was sour soil.
