history

The Weserstraße was named after the parallel river Weser . Previously it was simply called Chaussee .

development

The village of Wulsdorf was first mentioned in 1139 and became a rural community in 1840. A road connection, later Chaussee, from Bremen to Geestendorf already existed in the Middle Ages. The road to Beverstedt was built around 1850 . At its confluence, the Lindenstraße to Weserstraße (mostly also called Chaussee), a new center of the place developed. The development of the ports in Geestemünde and Bremerhaven and the fishing port also gave Wulsdorf a strong boost.
The approximately 3.8 kilometer long Chaussee had to be expanded in the 19th century and became the backbone of Wulsdorf. In 1891 the school was built on Weserstraße; today the old building of the Fichteschule so named around 1932. The Wulsdorf cemetery was built in 1870.

In 1896 the Wulsdorfer Chaussee was led over a new railway bridge (ramp) to Geestemünde on Georgstraße. The tram depot came in 1908 and the post office in 1916. The first gas lamps were installed in 1913. The popular excursion destination was Café Simon an der Chaussee.

Since 1920 Wulsdorf (4930 inhabitants) was part of Geestemünde and since 1971 it has been part of Bremerhaven (2001: 11,220 inhabitants).

The Reichsstraße 6, later Bundesstraße 6 , to which the Weserstraße belongs, has been leading from Wesermünde to Breslau since 1934 and from Wesermünde via Langen to Cuxhaven since 1937 . At the end of the 1970s, after the opening of the Federal Motorway 27 , parts of the B 6 were replaced by the A 27.

During the Second World War, the road was largely spared from the air raids on Wesermünde .

traffic

There was a horse tram in Bremerhaven since 1881 , which only led to the Schweizer Halle at the Wulsdorfer Chaussee horse depot from 1891 . From 1898 to 1908 it was converted into an electric tram with five lines.
In 1908 the tram depot on Weserstraße was put into operation. From 1908 to 1960 an electric tram line ran through Wulsdorf as line 3, which established the connection with Geestemünde and today's city center. In 1911 it was extended to a small train station on Weserstraße. The Lower Weser Railway Association this year Bremen- Vegesack via Sandstedt with Wulsdorf. In the last few years of operation of this railway, it ran from Sandstedt to Wulsdorf and on to the main station until 1964.

Today (2018) the bus lines 505 (Wulsdorf - Hauptbahnhof - Rotersand - Stadtmitte - Langen - Debstedt ), 506 (Wulsdorf, Bahnhofstraße - Hauptbahnhof - Stadtmitte - Rotersand - Langen) and 511 (express bus: Leherheide Ost - Rotersand - Stadtmitte - Wulsdorf ) operate here ) the BremerhavenBus of the Bremerhaven Versorgungs- und Verkehrs-GmbH (BVV) .
