Roasters Street
The Rostock Garbräterstraße is a short street in the historic center of the Hanseatic city . It is located between the parallel streets Buchbinderstraße in the west and Kistenmacherstraße in the east. On the other side of these streets, the Rostocker Heide street and the smooth eel continue in a westerly and easterly direction. The Roasting Street is part of the former Rostock Mittelstadt .
The Garbräterstraße was mentioned for the first time in 1516. The roasters that gave it its name were traders who sold meat and fish roasted on the street, as well as venison. In accordance with its cross-street character, the development on Garbräterstrasse was quite modest; the north side only represented the back courtyards of Buchbinderstrasse and Kistenstrasse, while the entire south side was taken up by the Krämerschütting , a kind of meeting house for Rostock merchants.
In the nights of bombing at the end of April 1942 , the south side of Garbräterstrasse was completely destroyed, while a building by the Laager architect Paul Korff was preserved on the north-west side . This house, which is now a bank branch, is actually the only building on Garbräterstrasse today, as the south and north-east sides are now used as parking spaces. On the northeast side there was a gabled house in the Renaissance style, which is rare in Rostock, until 1942 .
A shopping center is planned to be built on Garbräterstrasse over the next few years. Coordinates: 54 ° 5 ′ 16.8 ″ N , 12 ° 8 ′ 18.5 ″ E
