location

The Hintere Brühl is a 192 m long, relatively narrow one-way street in the residential area of Brühlviertel . It begins in the south at Godehardsplatz opposite the Godehardikirche and ends in the north at Neue Straße in front of the Pauluskirche . There are 22 houses in the street, but the house numbers only range from 1 to 20.

Name and story

The name Brühl refers to a swampy quarry at Eselsgraben, a tributary of the Innerste , which extends not far south of the old town of Hildesheim to the Godehardikloster. In this area, from around 1200, an unfortified peasantry of the same name emerged outside the medieval city walls, which slowly expanded and in the east reached as far as the Brühltor of the new town . The village was divided into three areas, the Vorderer Brühl , Mittlerer Brühl and Hinterer Brühl . In the 16th century the area was included in the city of Hildesheim and its system of ramparts and walls. The oldest houses in what is now called Hinterer Brühl date from this time . It was mentioned as early as 1243 under the name platea sancti Godehardi and in the 16th century it was called Im Hind Brul . During the Second World War , the Hintere Brühl remained almost unscathed, so that it still offers a good impression of the cityscape of Hildesheim before it was destroyed on March 22, 1945.
