Dunkelberggang

The Dunkelberggang in the Linden-Mitte district was initially part of the Hohe Straße around 1850 , was renamed to Kleine Hohestraße in 1893 and was finally given its final name in 1952. According to the address book of the city of Hanover from 1970, the name resulted from the "[...] at times popularly known as Dunkelbergs Gang".
