The Domgasse located on the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . It was named in 1862 after the nearby St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna .
history
Today's Domgasse is attested as Hintere Schulstrasse in 1387 and 1422 in order to distinguish it from the actual Schulstrasse, today's Schulerstrasse. A house sign at No. 8 in 1683 led to the name Gässel at the red cross . In 1701 the street Gässel was given to the green Anger . The name Kleine Schulerstraße , which was used in 1770 and still in 1848, emphasizes the contrast to the actual Schulerstraße. In 1862, the name Domgasse, which is still valid today, followed.
