Lehe

Lehe is an urban district in Bremerhaven located where the Geeste and Weser rivers meet, containing residential neighborhoods, business areas, and transportation hubs. The layout combines housing with schools, community centers, and recreational spaces that shape everyday life.

The settlement received recognition as a market town in 1275 and grew into an important trading center near the North Sea coast. This early trading role shaped the area's development for centuries.

The St. Dionysius Church with its distinctive architecture shapes the local character and serves as a central gathering point for residents. Around it, regular events reflect the rhythm of community life.

The area connects to central Bremerhaven through several bus lines and offers direct access to the main railway station for regional trips. When spending more time here, local information centers help with orientation and what to explore.

Archaeological digs in 2019 uncovered Iron Age structures and artifacts pointing to settlements before medieval times. These findings show the region was inhabited much longer than previously thought.
