Knieperstrasse (Stralsund)
The Knieper road is a city street -scale street in Stralsund . It belongs to the core area of the UNESCO World Heritage with the title Historic Old Towns Stralsund and Wismar . The Knieperstraße connects the old market with the Fährwall or the Olof-Palme-Platz at the Kniepertor ; the Schillstraße crosses the knee by road.
The street got its name from the Knep family of merchants and councilors; a councilor Nicolas Knep is mentioned in 1277.
The Kniepertor barely escaped its removal after Stralsund's demolition in the 1870s; In order to take account of the increased traffic, the adjacent gabled house at Knieperstrasse 14 was demolished. From 1903 until the end of operations, the tram drove through Knieperstrasse and Kniepertor.
Today's house numbers were assigned in the 19th century.
In the Knieperstraße there are 13 listed buildings on the list of architectural monuments in Stralsund with the numbers 425 to 437.
