The Haaggasse is a street in the old town of Tuebingen .

location

The Haaggasse in Tübingen

The Haaggasse leads east from the Haagtor to the upper end of the market square. It is lined with pubs and smaller shops and is bordered at its upper eastern end on the north side by the town hall.

The approximately 250 m long connection between Marktplatz and Haagtorplatz is one of the most prominent Tübingen streets. It is the most important connection between the area around Tübingen and the market and is also used accordingly on market days Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The upper part of it has been traffic-calmed since 2016 and a pedestrian zone at the top between the turning plate at the town hall and the Wiener Gäßle.

Surname

The name comes from the protective hedge (the Hague) on the north side of the castle slope.

Beet market

Police station at Rübenmarkt, 1907

"Rübenmarkt" used to be the name of the small square behind the town hall at the upper end of Haaggasse, where the turning table is today. He was mentioned in writing as early as 1582 in a copy of an order regarding the construction and maintenance of a dole on the beet market. Originally the beet market was an important meeting place. Here, for example, the men on the first watch were mustered before they went out to put out fires or to defend the city walls.

The building site behind the town hall originally belonged to the private citizen Dominicus Weygoldt , who only sold it to the town in 1543, which shortly afterwards built the town hall extension there. The new extension was used partly as a salt house and partly as a German school. In a camp book of the ecclesiastical administration from 1604 it is said that the city of Tübingen annually "apart from the court statute behind the town hall, on which the Teütsche school stood in front of Jaren, pays the pound of land construction."

The town hall extension was demolished in 1907 and replaced by a new building by 1909. Instead of an awkwardly old-fashioned design by the Tübingen master builder August Geilsdörfer , the plans for this were implemented by the renowned Stuttgart architect Paul Schmohl .
