history

Surname

Wurster Straße was named after the Frisian region of Land Wursten , to which the road leads. The Low German term Wurtsassen or Wursaten means Wurten residents . Wurten are artificial settlement mounds that provided protection from floods and storm surges until dikes were built in the marshland on the North Sea coast .

development

After the construction of the ports in Bremerhaven (from 1827), the Prussian lehe slowly expanded northwards from around 1880. The Bremerhaven port group of the Bremen ports was continuously expanded with the Bremerhaven container terminal from 1968 until 2008. From 1890 the Speckenbütteler Park was laid out. The Lehe Hospital on Wurster Strasse (today the Health Department) was completed in 1906. In 1924 Lehe came to the city of Wesermünde and in 1947 this became the seaside town of Bremerhaven with the Mitte district. From 1949 on, the residential estate on the Eckernfeld was built ; other settlements followed in the Wurster Strasse area. Between 1954 and 1957, after expropriations and protests, the US armed forces built the Am Blink settlement east of the street .

The Bremerhaven port group of the Bremen ports was continuously expanded with the Bremerhaven container terminal from 1968 until 2008.

traffic

Wurster Strasse was initially used to develop an extension of Alt-Lehe from the Flötenkiel to the north. In 1881 the horse-drawn tram from Geestemünde to Lehe / Wurster Straße was put into operation and in 1896 it was expanded to Speckenbüttel. The lines were gradually expanded to double tracks and converted to electric railways by 1908. Line 5, red, led from the Lehe depot through the street and Parkstraße to Speckenbüttel. Tram line 2 ran from Geestemünde station to the Lehe depot on Wurster Strasse and later to Langen station ; In 1927 it was extended to the Friedrichsruh Park in Langen. In 1960 there was still line 2, which ran from the city limits of Langen to Lehe and the main train station. In 1982 tram line 2 was discontinued and bus routes have taken over local public transport ever since.

Wurster Strasse was initially one of the two connecting roads for port traffic and was congested after the significant increase in truck traffic. By Cherbourger street Wurster road was considerably relieved from the 1976th

In the BremerhavenBus local transport, lines 502, 509, 511 and ML pass through the street and lines 501, 503, 505, 506 and NL touch them at the flute keel.
