The Knochenhauerstraße is as part of a large pedestrian shopping area one of the main shopping streets in Bremen . The street in the old town is one of the oldest streets in the city.

It leads in an east-west direction from Sögestraße to the junction with Papenstraße . From there the road continues over the end of the path and Spitzenkiel to the street Am Wall .

The cross streets were u. a. Head south as Carl-Ronning-Straße after the Bremen coffee roaster Carl Ronning (1863-1949), Kleine Hundestraße possibly after the medieval archbishop Vogt Hunno and Papenstraße (Low German) after the priests who lived here. To the north they were named Herdentorswallstraße after the Herdentor in the Bremen city wall and the wall section in the Bremen ramparts , this street is continued by Ansgaritorswallstraße .

history

Surname

The street was named Knokenhowerstrate in 1374 , but it is older. Bone tusk is an outdated term for butcher .

development

The street was near the Bremen city wall , between the Herdentor (“portam gregum”) in the east and the Ansgariitor (“portam sancti Anscharii”) in the west. For a long time, only small and modest houses lined this street, where, among other things, the butchers practiced their craft. It was not until 1920 that the last gothic gabled house on the north side at the beginning of the street, where the W. Wacker wicker shop resided around 1900 , was demolished. The gable house No. 14 (north side) of the butcher J. F. H. Steuber - today the Café Stecker  - dates from the Renaissance .

As a residential street, around 1737 it had around 50 mostly gable-free , two- sometimes three-story residential and commercial buildings. In the 19th century, many houses were replaced by three to four-story buildings with shops and businesses. Building No. 42 (south side) housed the office of the trading company Melchers & Co., founded in 1806, and the Spanish consulate. At the Melchorshof there was a packing house, the coach house and a horse stable with the numbers 42A, 43 and 44. The business and office building Seidenhaus Koopmann on the corner of Sögestraße dates from 1911 .

Most of the buildings were largely destroyed by the bombs in World War II, and the remains of the buildings were later removed. After the war, the street slowly developed into a street with an average of four to five storey buildings with shops and offices. Only after the construction of the Horten department store (now Galeria Kaufhof ) in 1972 based on plans by Morschel , Henke and Hodde did the street develop into a heavily used shopping street in the sometimes upscale area.

In 1987 a bronze monument was erected in the eastern area in memory of Mudder Cordes , actually Metta Cordes, who drove through the new town in a vegetable wagon. It was donated by her great-grandson, the design and execution are by Christa Baumgärtel .
