history

A historic city map from 1900 shows the street as Neumarktstraße with Neumarkt on Kaiserstraße, while the northern extension to Metzelstraße, Fleischstraße, Brückenstraße and Johannisstraße, today's Stresemannstraße, does not yet exist.

Today the street is named after the Reich President Paul von Hindenburg (1847-1934), who was the first and only directly elected German head of state from 1925 to 1934 .

Since Hindenburg Hitler to Chancellor appointed, the street name is now often discussed because they initiatives of the name is not worthy according to some Trier. On July 9, the city council decided by 29 votes to 17 with four abstentions to rename Hindenburgstrasse. At the same meeting it was decided to revoke Hindenburg's honorary citizenship.

The northern extension of the street is Stresemannstrasse, which is named after the German Chancellor and Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann (1878-1929).
