The Gördelingerstraße in the city ​​center of Braunschweig , which runs in north-south direction, connects the transverse Lange Straße to the north with the adjoining old town market to the south . The street, which was formerly characterized by half-timbered houses and baroque buildings , lost its original character due to the destruction during the Second World War and subsequent redesigns.

history

The Gördelingerstraße, which runs in the soft image of the old town , was first mentioned in 1248 in connection with a Wicpertus de golingestrate . In 1816 Karl Scheller tried to derive the names Goderingestrate (1268) and Godelingestrate (1298) from gordelinge , belt carriers. He referred this to Franciscans who are said to have lived in a monastery located between Lindentwete and Jungfernstieg. However, there is no evidence of this. The street name is probably due to a clan, the Goderinge or Godelinge. In the city map from 1606 one finds the form Godderlingstrasse . After 1700 the distortion of Gördelingerstraße was created , while the city map from 1731 still shows the name Görlingerstraße .

The Bartholomäustwete was located in 1426 between the houses with the insurance company numbers 83 and 84 . This was probably built as early as 1373, when the council allowed the owner of Ass. 84 to build a path to the Bartholomäusturm. Even at the time of the kingdom of Westphalia the owner of this house, the prefect was Friedrich Henneberg , attests that the house together with the to this related immemorial over the Bartholomäi cemetery through the gate in the plank after Schützenstraße beyond alley since 1788 owned have. In 1426 Cord van Ursleve is named as the owner of the house negest sunte Bartolomeus tweten , the insurance company number 83, which later became the Pollschen house.

Gördelingerstraße was part of the exhibition grounds, on which two goods fairs have been held annually since the Braunschweig Exhibition Center was re-established in 1681. The Neue Hof (now Handelsweg ) was built around 1700 for trade fair purposes. A prerequisite for a well-functioning trade fair business were postal connections for people and messages to important trading locations. For this purpose, Hermann Korb built a post office for the Princely Braunschweigische Landespost between 1710 and 1714 in Gördelingerstraße. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Neue Hof , which was demolished in 1870 , saw the Brunswick defeat of the Fürstenberg ducal porcelain factory . The Braunschweig address display for the year 1817, p. 242, shows the following entry: Porcelain defeat (Fürstl. Fürstenberger), all types of porcelain items that are made in the factory there and then painted and gilded. In Neuenhofe No. 13.

On May 25, 1906, Braunschweig's first film theater was opened by Martin Dentler in the corner building at Gördelingerstraße / Neue Straße .

During the Second World War, most of the buildings on Gördelingerstraße were destroyed or badly damaged.

Historic buildings

Excerpt from the city map by Friedrich Wilhelm Culemann from 1798. You can see the Altstadtmarkt , Breite Strasse , Gördelingerstrasse and Schützenstrasse .

Residential and exhibition building (Gördelingerstraße 7)

The three-storey solid building with insurance number 14 was built between 1715 and 1720 as a trade fair building, probably based on a design by Hermann Korb. The client is unknown. The building with a symmetrical facade was structured by eleven window axes and a three-axis central projectile.

Schrader's hotel was located in house number 7 , where Richard Wagner and his wife Cosima lived in April 1875 , who were attending a Tannhauser performance in Braunschweig.

The building, which was damaged during the Second World War, was rebuilt based on its baroque condition. The furniture store Sander, founded in 1857, is now in the southern part of the building (Gördelingerstraße 6–7). The Regina cinema was located in the northern part of the building from 1949 to April 2003 and was renamed Die Lupe in 1974 . The private theater Komödie on the Altstadtmarkt has been located here since October 2003 .

Half-timbered house (Gördelingerstraße 38)

The half-timbered building, which dates from 1470, had four heavily carved figure clasps with a secular, folk character. Depicted were a donkey with bagpipes, a fox with a goose and a man with an ax. The house was destroyed during the Second World War.

Residential building (Gördelingerstraße 42)

The house was built in 1571/72 for Heinrich von Adenstedt († 1605) and his wife Margarethe Twedorp († 1612). The builder was probably Hans Schrader named on an inscription. The house, which was massive below and timber-framed in the upper part, had a bower that was destroyed during the Second World War, as were the main and auxiliary buildings.

Home of the Strombeck family (Gördelingerstraße 43)

Renaissance portal of the destroyed house at Gördelingerstraße 43

The house, built in the 15th century, was expanded in 1584 and 1590 for the von Strombeck patrician family . It can no longer be determined to what extent older components from the 14th or 13th century were included. The first verifiable construction processes date from 1483. The stone coats of arms that have been preserved refer to the owner couple Hilmar von Strombeck and Katharina Schrader, the daughter of the author Schrader. The two-storey massive substructure carried a 30-span long storage storey made of timber framing.

The building was badly damaged in World War II. The ruin was only demolished in 1973. Only the arched Renaissance portal and a remnant of the wall remained. These were set up again at the end of October 1975 as the entrance to the new Bartholomäustwete. The portal is framed with fittings. In the spandrels there is an angel figure on the left and right holding a coat of arms. The frieze above the portal bears the inscription:

NISI DOMINVS: FRVSTRA • ANNO 1 • 5 • 84 •

The translation is:

If the Lord does not (build the house) it is in vain (built).

This frieze in turn has a crown with two columns flanking another coat of arms. Fruit hangers and mask heads adorn the areas to the left and right of the two columns. On the back of the wall to the left and right of the portal from the same building were used heraldic stones. The left stone bears the year 1590 on the left and right under the heraldic shield, on the right stone there is a heraldic shield and the same year 1590.

In 2009 the portal was extensively restored.

Former post office (Gördelingerstraße 44)

Post house Gördelingerstraße 44

The Ass. 84 house designed by Hermann Korb was built between 1710 and 1714 for the agent and postmaster from the Princely Brunswick region, Heinrich Georg Henneberg († 1717). The facade of the seven-axis, three-storey solid building was symmetrically structured. The center of the facade was emphasized by a uniaxial risalite.

The post office developed into a news office. The house was owned by the Henneberg family until 1871. The ruins of the building, which was badly damaged in 1944, were demolished after the war.

Exhibition building with arcade ("Jungfernstieg") (Gördelingerstraße 45)

The exhibition vault with the “Jungfernstieg”, Gördelingerstraße 45 / Klöpperstraße, today Neue Straße 20

Between 1709 and 1714 this building was built for the Braunschweig trade fair based on a design by Hermann Korb, presumably on behalf of Duke Anton Ulrich . The two-storey half-timbered building took up the entire north side of Neue Strasse, the then Klöpperstrasse, between Gördelingerstrasse and Schützenstrasse. The facade on the upper floor had 21 window axes facing Neue Strasse and an arcade below with twelve rectangular stone pillars. The narrow side facing Gördelingerstraße showed five axes. The arcade, known as the “Jungfernstieg”, was a novelty in the urban development of the city of Braunschweig. There were exhibition vaults behind the arcades, and a trading hall was on the upper floor. The peace negotiations to end the Northern War began here in 1712 with the Braunschweig Congress , which were broken off in 1714 without any result.

Emil Ferdinand Vogel gave an explanation for the name Jungfernstieg , which can also be found in Hamburg, in 1841:

In some places these industrial houses appear under peculiar names; such as B. in Braunschweig and Hamburg, where they originally had the name "der Jungfernstieg": a name that sounds strange, but can be explained very well as soon as you think about the covered Schwibbogen , which even in rainy weather allows an undisturbed walk and where at the same time a multitude of friendly, skilful salespeople offered interesting objects of all kinds for sale - they had to be attractive enough for young girls of every class to invite them to frequent repeated visits; ...

Trade route (Sedanbazar)

The oldest passage in Braunschweig is located between Gördelingerstrasse and Breiten Strasse . In the course of the revitalization of the Braunschweig trade fair, Duke Rudolf August had some town houses torn down, and the Neue Hof , consisting of measuring vaults and stalls, was built in their place . The hotel owner Schrader had the Neuenhof demolished in 1870. Six three-story houses with shops were built on both sides of a courtyard, which was vaulted with an octagonal glass roof. The Neo-Gothic style Sedanbazar , named after the Battle of Sedan , was opened in 1872. The name was changed to Handelsweg in 1928. The passage was badly damaged during the Second World War and was rebuilt from 1956 onwards. The redesigned trade route was opened on November 1, 1969. The Aunt Puttchen ice cream parlor, founded in 1936, was well known . Today there are various restaurants in the Handelsweg.

Görderlingerstraße / corner Neue Straße : Former building of the company Pfeiffer & Schmidt .

The head office of the textile wholesaler Pfeiffer & Schmidt, founded in 1690, was on the corner of Neue Straße . From a house on Gördelingerstraße, presumably No. 22, has been handed down for the year 1352: un de joden hebben der long wonet . The stone house No. 81 opposite this belonged to Isaacke the Jodden in the 14th century . The house with the insurance number 28 was from 1354 to 1528 our vrowen gildehus, our leve fruwe broderschop hus , owned by the Marien Brotherhood. Between the houses with the insurance number 22 and 28 was de ole marstall in 1441 . House No. 41 (Ass. 81) had a bower that was destroyed during the Second World War. The badly damaged commercial building was torn down and replaced by a new building by Friedrich Wilhelm Kraemer in 1951/52 .

Today's development

Former state central bank (Gördelingerstraße / Lindentwete 1)

The foundation stone for the new Landeszentralbank building on Gördelingerstrasse was laid on October 10, 1983, and the topping-out ceremony exactly one year later . The inauguration ceremony took place on February 13, 1986. The Bundesbank branch was closed and the building is now used as an office and commercial building.
