history

Fallersleber Strasse was a trunk road that ran in an east-northeast direction via Gardelegen to Tangermünde . It was named after the nearest town, Fallersleben . It was mentioned in a document as early as 1239 as Vallerslevestrate. It was created when the Hagens was reclaimed. It stretched from Wendenstrasse to the inner Fallersleber Tor near house no. 1687. The section from Wendenstrasse to Wilhelmstrasse (formerly on Steingraben and Wendengraben) with houses no.1612 to 1619 had different names at times (1407 , “Tigen dem kerchove”, 1532 “tigen sunte Katharinen kerchove” or around 1584 “against St. Catharinen kerchove”). The corner house no. 1865 was referred to in 1527 as "dat orthus am graven, wen men van sunte Katharinen na dem Vallerslevedore gan well". The houses near the Fallersleber Tor were called “Houses in front of the Vallerslevedore” in 1403 and 1523, but in 1428 and 1520 they were named as belonging to Fallersleberstraße. The area of ​​houses no. 1688 to 1690 is mentioned in 1544 with "sunte Ilsebe" for the St. Elisabeth monastery, which was probably founded in the 15th century. In 1733 the garrison hospital was set up in house no. 1694. The eastern part of this property housed the officers' mess, there was already a bathing room in 1305, the "Vallerslevedorstoven". The street itself is shown on old maps under the names "Valslebisch Stras" (1606), "Fallerslöbsche" (1671) or "Fallerslebische Strasse" (1731 and 1758). Many of the buildings were destroyed in the bombing of World War II. Since the reconstruction, the street has mainly consisted of four-story residential buildings. Before the war there had been patrician houses and smaller half-timbered buildings here.

Historic Buildings

The corner house No. 8 ( Bierbaumsches Haus ), which was owned by the von Peine family from 1424 to 1597, was initially built as a half-timbered building. In 1523, Meine III. von Peine convert it into a stone house. It included the gable front of the older bower facing Wilhelmstrasse. In the years 1858 to 1859 the house was renovated. On the front of the house, which faced Fallersleber Strasse, a coat of arms stone was set in the arch of the main portal. Other buildings in the courtyard belonged to the property. The house was destroyed in 1944. Since January 20, 1930, Nathan Rosenstock's textile company had been located in Fallersleber Strasse No. 20; the rent was 300 Reichsmarks per year. Nothing has been preserved from the historical buildings and former shops.
