The Grove Street is a residential street in the northwest of downtown Leipzig . It begins in the north-west corner of the market and leads almost in a straight line with a slight swing to the left in a north-north-westerly direction without crossing to Brühl .
history
The Hainstraße is one of the oldest streets in the city. The Via Imperii , which crossed the northern end of the Via Regia , ran through it as early as the Middle Ages . When Via Imperii was relocated to Reichsstraße after 1100 , today's Hainstraße became the main street of the northwestern, Rannian quarter of the city. In 1390 the street was first mentioned by name as Ranstädter Straße, as one reached through the Ranstädter Tor near its end via the Via Regia Ranstädt (today Markranstädt ). From the 15th century, the current name finally prevailed over Hagen-, Heun- and Hoyn-Straße, which refers to the Rosental, northwest of the old town, as a grove.
The current shape of the street is mainly characterized by houses from the 16th to 19th centuries, which is a rarity for Leipziger Straße in this unity. Since the plots were narrow and carts could not turn around in the yard, the trading yards often extended to the next street. Later, passages or passages were created from it. With six, Hainstrasse has the largest number of properties of this type in Leipzig. In the 20th century, Hainstrasse developed into one of the city's most important shopping streets, with shops in almost every house.
During the Second World War , the buildings at the north-western end were totally destroyed and others were badly damaged. Around 1960, a large low-rise building with a textile and stationery store was opened on the site of total destruction. Despite the dilapidated building stock, Hainstrasse remained a popular shopping location during the GDR era.
After the fall of the Wall, numerous shops had to close for various reasons. A revival did not come about until after the extensive renovation of the street in the years 1996-1999, during which many historical buildings regained their old splendor, partly with a new building behind the historical facade. In 2016, the Hainspitze commercial building was opened on the site of the low-rise building and open space .
Development
The development of the Hainstrasse begins on the western side with Barthels Hof (No. 1), a typical through- yard with a passage to Kleine Fleischergasse No. 2. The following Webers Hof (No. 3) in turn has a passage connection to Barthels Hof. The Kleines Joachimsthal passage begins in house number 5/7 , which leads across several atriums to 8 Kleine Fleischergasse and which had not been passable since the war until its reconstruction in 2012. In the Adler pharmacy (No. 9), which has existed in the same place for over 300 years, Theodor Fontane (1819–1898) continued his apprenticeship as a pharmacist in 1841/1842 . The right building next to the pharmacy, Zum Grauen Wolf (No. 11, built in 1909/10), took its name from an inn that had existed since the 16th century. The Jägerhof (No. 17/19) is in turn a passage to Grosse Fleischergasse 11/13. Since 1915, the UT Hainstrasse cinema has been located in the back. Today the Passage cinemas operate five cinemas here. The Hainspitze (no. 27–29), which extends to Brühl, is located on the land of the Goldener Elefant and Bärmanns Hof houses , both of which extend to Große Fleischergasse, and the Great Cloth Hall from 1837.

The houses on the east side No. 4, 6, 8, and 10, as well as some on the opposite side, have bay windows that are well worth seeing; the most beautiful is likely to be the baroque bay at house number 8 . The passage Der Große Joachimsthal begins in No. 10 and leads to Katharinenstraße 13. The Blauer und Goldener Stern house has a passage to Kretschmanns Hof on Katharinenstrasse. The Hôtel de Pologne (No. 16-18 ), built by Eduard Pötzsch (1803-1889) in 1847/1848 and the largest hotel in the city at the time, has been an office building with shops on the ground floor since 2014 after a turbulent history. The two historical halls have been restored and are used for festive events and conferences.
