location

Chapter Street Parade junction after the historical course of the road has been restored

Kapitelstraße, which is around 100 meters long, is located in the south-western part of the old town island ( Marien Quartier ). It connects Mühlenstraße with the parade when it meets with the horse market and the Dankwartsgrube . The confluence with the parade was relocated after 1945 to the property of Kapitelstraße 8, which was destroyed in 1942, in order to create a direct connection to the Dankwartsgrube. This traffic engineering measure has since been dismantled, creating a space-like situation.

history

The street is first mentioned in a document in 1309, under the Latin name Parva platea inter plateam arenae et plateam molendinorum (small street between the horse market and the mill street). In 1387 the name Papenstrate by dem Dome is recorded, which appears again shortened to Papenstrate in 1441 . In 1852 Pfaffenstraße was officially set as the street name during the parade , but in 1884 it was changed to the current name, which refers to the cathedral chapter that existed until the secularization of 1804 .
