The Kleine Packhofstraße in Hanover has been a built-up traffic route in what is now the Lower Saxony state capital since the Middle Ages . The pedestrian zone in the Mitte district is adjacent to Grosse Packhofstrasse as the “busiest shopping street” in the city center.

History and description

The course of today's Kleine Packhofstrasse was first referred to in 1284 as "parvus Wulfeshorn" and in 1348 as "de lutteke Wulfeshorn". During the Middle Ages, the road reached up to the Georgenwall as part of the city ​​fortifications of Hanover ; from there on the left in the street was the hangman's house .

Already at the time of the Electorate of Hanover , the city ​​wall , which until then had no city ​​gate in the east of Hanover , was broken through in 1733 on both the Kleiner and Großer Wulfeshorn, in order to bring extinguishers into the narrow alleys from outside the Hanover city fortifications , especially in the event of a fire can. The significance of the name "Kleiner Wolfshorn", which was still mentioned in 1750, traced the Hanoverian History Papers, which appeared centuries later, to "a popular explanation of wolves whose approach had to be announced by a guard by a horn signal ".

At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover , the Quarree around the Wolfshorn was "the poorest quarter of Hanover" before the Kleine Wolfshorn was also renamed in 1833 "after the Packhof , which at that time was on Georgstrasse across from the confluence of the Großer Wolfeshorne."

During the Weimar Republic , the architects Adolf Springer and Alexander Kölliker built the Weltspiele cinema in 1929 on the Kleine Packhofstrasse between Georgstrasse and Heiligerstrasse.
