history
The street is mentioned as platea maior as early as the Middle Ages. What was meant was the entire street from Dammtor to Neumarkttor, today's horse street and Große Straße. The name Große Straße is one of the oldest, known street names in Jüterbog with the name Kleine Straße (today Planeberg ).
The buildings are almost exclusively half-timbered houses. In the course of the 19th century, the houses were given plaster facades in the classical and historicist styles. The numerous cellars from this period prove that houses have stood here since the Middle Ages.
In 1935 the horse street was renamed Wilhelm-Kube-Straße. Wilhelm Kube was the Upper President of Brandenburg-Berlin in 1935 . In 1936 Wilhelm Kube fell out of favor with Martin Bormann and was relieved of all state offices. In 1937, Grosse Strasse and Wilhelm-Kube-Strasse were merged to form Pferdestrasse. In the course of this, the houses were also renumbered from Dammtor. The houses on the north side of the street were given odd numbers, those on the south even numbers.
In 1939 the entire street was renamed from Pferdestrasse to Grosse Strasse. After the street was named Lenin Street (after Lenin , the founder of the Soviet Union ) on the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution in 1967 , it was revised again in 1991. The numbering of the houses was retained, so that Pferdestrasse ends at house numbers 49 and 54 and Große Strasse begins with house numbers 51 and 56.
The stretch of road between Planeberg and Neumarkttor was originally called Beerstrauch, the origin of the name is unknown. It probably comes from the Low German word beer for pear. During excavations in 1913, the remains of a stick dam over the former swampy area were found. In this area, the original buildings on the north side of the street are no longer preserved. In 1974 the half-timbered houses were demolished and replaced by a four-story apartment block .
Houses
Members of the bourgeois upper class lived in the street, such as craftsmen, merchants and, later, manufacturers. Prominent Jüterbogers also settled here, for example mayors and clergymen lived in Grosse Strasse.
The Schwarzer Bär restaurant was in the corner building on Kohlhasengasse (No. 56) . The Herold Hotel was later located here. The Saxon Post Office was also located in this house around 1800. Houses 80 and 82 were used by the military in the 19th century as a military hospital and as a dining room and team building. The Kreissparkasse is located in the corner house to the market (postal address Markt 15/16). A girls' school was located on the property with number 95 from 1819.
The Catholic Hedwig Church is located behind the parish and parish hall (number 86). There are several entrances to the Nikolaikirche from Große Straße. Between the number 89 and 91 houses were demolished in order to achieve a breakthrough. Here is the memorial for those who fell in the First World War .
