history

Through Bremerhaven, which was founded in 1827 and is now the Mitte district , the neighboring, independent, Prussian community of Lehe grew rapidly. Initially mainly two- and three-story houses were built in Hafenstrasse and it was soon the main street in Lehe. A central shopping and business center developed around the confluence with Rickmersstrasse .

The five-storey, plastered residential and commercial building with a mansard roof and the two-storey gable top from 1909 in the neo-baroque style clearly stood out from the three-storey neighboring buildings. The client Heinrich Waller (1856 - 1936) ran a large furniture store with its own carpentry and upholstery workshop. In 1919 Waller sold the house to the businessman Carl Kammerscheidt, who sold the house in 1920, but continued to run the furniture business in the backyard. The buyer Heinrich Behnke now had his shoe shop here, which he had previously been running in another location on Hafenstrasse since 1900. The Rogge drugstore was in the neighboring building, followed by the Ramelow department store , which burned out in 1944 after being hit by a bomb. After 1927 - when Wesermünde was built - Hafenstrasse was extended and the house was given the new house number 153 (previously 64).

In 1945 the city belonged to the American zone of occupation . A library for the American soldiers ( GI’s ) was set up in the confiscated house . The Americans returned the house to the Behnke family in 1949, who converted it in 1950 and ran it again as a shoe shop, soon afterwards with a sports department. In 1962 there was another renovation with a small passage. In 1993 the shoe shop was given up with the defining advertising font Salamander . Volksbank Unterweser, later Volksbank eG Bremerhaven-Cuxland , bought the house, removed the passage and the canopy and a counter hall was built inside. In 2014, the building had to be renovated again.

In 2018, the building owners of the house and its architect Wiedenroth received the Federal Prize for Crafts in Monument Preservation 2018 (1st prize), awarded by the German Foundation for Monument Protection and presented in Bremen by Mayor Dr. Carsten Sieling (SPD), Dr. Steffen Skudelny from the Foundation and Holger Schwannecke from the Central Association of German Crafts .
