The Kochstraße was to the 16th century Tescherstraße (probably are soft or Taschenmacher road) called and in the first half of the 17th century after a middle-class family and Mater road , since the 18th century, it bears its current name. The part of the street between Oberengengasse and today's Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Straße was called Ritterhöfen and was not renamed until the end of the 19th century. The name Kochstraße can be traced back to the chef Christian Hildebrandt, who lives in the street.
