Goncharnaya Street
The Goncharnaya Street (1922-1992 Wolodarskowo Street ) is a street in the district Tagansky in the Central Administrative District of Moscow . It leads from Großer Watin-Gasse to Taganskaya Square.
history
The street got its name after Goncharnaja Sloboda , a "pottery settlement", a part of the city where potters lived and worked. The chronicles show that in the 16th century, ceramic production was moved from the Kremlin , where it had been since the end of the 12th century, to the Schwivaya hill across the Jausa River. Between 1947 and 1948, a pottery workshop was opened in a high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya embankment. There was also a settlement of gunsmiths . Their graves were found during the restoration of the temple of Nikita the Martyr.
Since the 18th century the Goncharnaya Sloboda area was built up of noble houses and merchants' houses. In 1812, a fire destroyed the street that was practically in the center of the fire, but the old 17th century walls survived the fire and are preserved at the foot of the houses that were restored in the first half of the 19th century. In 1922 it was renamed Volodarskovo Street in memory of the revolutionary V. Volodarsky .
The 1935 general plan for the reconstruction of Moscow called for the complete demolition of the buildings in the Tagansky district. Goncharnaya Street was to become a wide, radial main street, with buildings in the style of Stalinist classicism. This plan was not implemented, with the exception of the Stalinist houses No. 26 to 32 and 36 to 38. During the construction of the Bolshoi Krasnocholmsky Bridge in 1938, only the southeastern quarter along Goncharnaya Street, including the Church of the Resurrection in Goncharny Proezd, a church from 1649 with a three-tent roof, was demolished. The church of the martyr Nikita was looted and restored by Lev David after the war. After the war, the original plan was changed: the Stalinskaya Wysotka residential building was built at the foot of the Schwivaya hill , which separates the street from the bank of the Moscow River .
