Where to stay in Fedderwardergroden
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Two shopping streets make the centre. Posener Straße and Preußenstraße carry the trade of the Stadtteil, which functions as a secondary centre for the north of the city with a full range of local supply. A green ring encloses that centre.
The Grüner Ring is a planted watercourse that runs right around it, and it is what structures the building pattern here. Six Stadtteile adjoin it.
About Fedderwardergroden
What are the main landmarks in Fedderwardergroden?
The watercourse is the defining structure. Grüner Ring encircles the centre of Fedderwardergroden as a planted moat, and the housing is laid out in relation to it rather than to a market square. Trade sits inside the ring.
Posener Straße and Preußenstraße hold the shops that make this a secondary centre for northern Wilhelmshaven. Neighbours ring it in turn. Sengwarden lies north, Voslapp northeast, Rüstersiel southeast, Altengroden south, Himmelreich and Coldewei southwest and Fedderwarden west.
What is the history of Fedderwardergroden?
The name marks a groden. That is reclaimed marsh behind a dyke, and Fedderwardergroden takes its first part from neighbouring Fedderwarden to the west. A different place shares part of the name.
Fedderwardersiel on the Butjadingen peninsula is a separate settlement and the two are regularly confused, which is why the record says so at the outset. Its plan came from one idea. The Grüner Ring, a planted watercourse enclosing the centre, structures the whole Stadtteil, with Posener Straße and Preußenstraße as its trading streets.
It works as a secondary centre. Fedderwardergroden serves the north of Wilhelmshaven with a full local supply of its own rather than depending on the city centre.
Where is Fedderwardergroden?
Fedderwardergroden covers close to 289 hectares in the north of Wilhelmshaven, bordering Sengwarden to the north, Voslapp to the northeast, Rüstersiel to the southeast, Altengroden to the south, Himmelreich and Coldewei to the southwest and Fedderwarden to the west.
