Kleinschmiedstrasse (Stralsund)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kleinschmiedstraße in Stralsund, from Ossenreyerstraße (2006)

The small Schmiedstraße in Stralsund connects the Baden street near the St. Nicholas Church and the Stralsund town hall with the Heilgeiststraße . It belongs to the core area of ​​the UNESCO World Heritage with the title Historic Old Towns Stralsund and Wismar .

The street was first mentioned in a document in 1321. Its name goes back to the blacksmiths called small forges , which, in contrast to the blacksmiths, mostly carried out small-scale, filigree work; Small blacksmiths included locksmiths , nail smiths, and knife and blade smiths .

Today's house numbers were assigned in the 19th century. Many buildings on Kleinschmiedstrasse were destroyed in the crash and subsequent explosion of a US warplane ( Consolidated B-24 ) on June 20, 1944 in the properties at Kleinschmiedstrasse 16 and 17. The gap was not closed for a long time, and other, ailing buildings on this side of the street were demolished in the GDR . The open space between Kleinschmiedstrasse, Badenstrasse, Ossenreyerstrasse and Heilgeiststrasse, called Rathausplatz , was used for a long time as a playground and recreational area. After 2010, the square, known as Quartier 17 , was rebuilt.

In the street two buildings are under monument protection , see also the list of monuments in Stralsund . These are the buildings at Kleinschmiedstrasse 20 and Kleinschmiedstrasse 22 .
