Hagen Scharrn is a road that since the 14th century in the former precincts Hagen of the city Braunschweig exists.

About the etymology

The street name is derived on the one hand from Hagen, in which this street was located, and on the other hand the term pawing comes from the area of ​​the guild of bone-tusk . Scratching was the name for a stall or a series of meat banks. Since meat was considered an important food alongside bread, there were bone tusks scattered throughout the city who did the slaughter. This guild had a seat on each of the councils of all the townships. They alone had the right to buy, slaughter, cut up and sell cattle for slaughter. The additional scratching in the street name is derived from these sales stands. In addition, fresh meat could only be sold at those stands where it was under the control of the authorities. This supervision was the responsibility of the Boneless Guild, which provided its own meat inspector. In the post-Middle Ages in Braunschweig there were three fixed days on which slaughter took place. The meat was only allowed to be sold in paws until fresh goods were delivered the next day of slaughter. In addition to the Hagenscharrn, there was also the term “Aegis Scratching”, for the market that was located behind the town hall on Altewiekring. The structure of these sales areas mostly consisted of one or two closed rows. Over time, the scrapers themselves were developed into sturdy stalls with a door and a shutter to let down. The roofs were covered with slate and provided with a gutter, so that they looked like rows of houses in their own sales streets. Such a scratching was an investment since its number was fixed and therefore the demand was great. The way to get a free scratching property was generally only possible through inheritance or marriage.

history

In the vicinity of the Hagenscharrn there were ducal lands that were cultivated. On April 18, 1307, the Dukes Heinrich der Wunderliche and Albrecht der Fette gave the “Drostenhof” to the Dominican preachers (also known as the Paulines) to establish their own monastery for 65 silver marks. Several guilds settled in the vicinity of this monastery, including cloth makers, goldsmiths and tanners. The so-called meat scrapers have also had their place here since 1347. For this they had to pay the duke 8 shillings a year for every scratch. Ownership of these paws was hereditary, and the operators were obliged to “keep them better”.

The following names for the street can be found in documents:

  • 1321 Latin apud macellam Indaginis
  • 1404 "de scherne", which means the meat scrap ( Scharn ) of the soft picture Hagen
  • 1533 "kaldunenscharn", (Kaldunen = entrails, innards)

In the years 1407 to 1569 the street was mostly called Hagenscharn. The name Hagenscharrn has been retained, the street is only a few meters long and leads from Bohlweg as a one-way street into Casparistraße, which is now where an arm of the Oker previously flowed.

Historical residents

The half-timbered house Hagenscharrn 1 ( Assekuranznummer 2085) at the north-western end of the street had only a sill beam as decoration, which was broken through several times by rosettes , an inscription in Gothic lowercase with capital letters:

Anno d (o) m (ini) m cccc Lxi sint disse twe hus ghebvweta
In the year of the Lord 1461 these two houses were built 

The map by Johann Karl Mare from 1829 shows that the building was directly connected to the Catharinen School . It was demolished in 1884 and the decorative beam was given to the Municipal Museum . The school building of the Collegium Carolinum (insurance number 2096-2097) was located in the area from 1745 to 1877 . There were a total of ten houses there. The corner house (No. 2095) formed the end of Bohlweg.

Resident 1846

In the address book for 1846, the following people are listed as residents of these houses.

  • Master bookbinder Isensee (No. 2085)
  • Schulpedell Werthmann and Mrs. Brakel (No. 2086)
  • Master carpenter Harms, dancer Täger, seamstress Täger and Sergeant Schäfer (No. 2087)
  • Master shoemaker Bülte, master shoemaker Mieth, seamstress Brandes and master tailor Schwarz (No. 2088)
  • Widow Diestfeldt, seamstress Mondenschein, spinner Spelge, siblings Rasch and the basket maker Warnecke (No. 2089)
  • Shoemaker Meyer and Mechanicus Meves (No. 2090)
  • Widow Kröhl, Benthack stable attendant, master tailor Britzwein and Sergeant Bode (No. 2091)
  • Widow Schulze, theater box office manager Heinemann and chorus player Weigel (No. 2092)
  • Master tailor Schrader and widow Büschoff (No. 2093)
  • Glove maker Dübois and clothes maker Ohlendorf (No. 2094)

On the south side of the street were the buildings of the ducal armory on property no. 2084, which were housed in the former Pauli monastery. The commandant's house, built in 1764, was also located here, which served as the residence of the respective city commanders, and which later housed the natural history cabinet. In 1891 the "Fatherland Museum for Braunschweigische Landesgeschichte" (see Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum ) was founded there, which was relocated to the building near the Aegidienkirche on August 24, 1902 . In the summer of 1903 the building of the armory and the museum on Hagenscharrn were demolished to make room for the construction of an authority building (later the State Ministry).

As the map of the Weichbilder shows, there was a small wooden footbridge (the Hagenscharrn Bridge) that led diagonally over the Oker and connected the sack with the Hagen. This connection was referred to in 1402 as "de long steg". Until 1731 it was one of the extensions of the street and connected it with the Ruhfäutchenplatz. The bridge was abandoned and a new crossing was built further south, initially made of wood and replaced by a stone bridge from 1779.
