The Little Castle Street is a street of Lübeck . The 160 meter long Kleine Burgstrasse is located in the northwest of the old town island, in the Marien-Magdalenen quarter . It begins at the portal of the castle monastery when the streets behind the castle and the castle stairs meet and runs southwards, with the small old ferry coming from the northwest . At the Ernestinenschule , the Kleine Burgstrasse ends at the north corner of the Koberg .

history

Today's Kleine Burgstrasse is first mentioned in a document in 1334 with the Latin name Vicus quo descenditur de cimiterio fratrum predicatorum ad Oldenvere , ie "alley that leads down from the churchyard of the preachers (which meant the Dominicans of the castle monastery) - at the old ferry". In the period that followed, the Latin names used were derived from the Dominicans: 1390 Versus predicatores ("after the preachers"), 1391 Ad praedicatores ("with the preachers") and Vicus quo itur de Koberge ad praedicatores ("Gasse, which from Koberg leads to the preachers ”), 1428 Apud predicatores (“ near the preachers ”).

However, the Low German name of the street, first recorded in 1460, makes no reference to the Dominicans. Instead, it is Lütte Borchstrate ("small Burgstrasse") , based on the more significant Burgstrasse that runs parallel to it . This designation persisted and was officially established in the High German version of Kleine Burgstrasse in 1852 . The courtyard of the Teutonic Order in Lübeck, which later became the Pockenhof, was located at 20 Kleine Burgstrasse .
