overview

In Hamm (district numbers 121 to 127) 38,330 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019) live on 3.8 km². Hamm is in the postcode areas 20535, 20537, 22087 and 22089.

There are 114 designated traffic areas in Hamm, including three squares and eleven bridges. Most are either hallway names or part of one of the following subject groups (from north to south):

• Friends and companions of Karl Sieveking (on both sides of Sievekingsallee )
• former pastors of the Hammer Dreifaltigkeitskirche
• Former country house owners or residents (especially south of Hammer Landstrasse )
• "Ethnic tribes" (Alemanni, Sorbs, Wends)

Most of the names come from the time the district was developed and built at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Much of it is based on suggestions from Otto Beneke , who, as head of the Senate Archives, advised the city authorities on finding a name for the new streets.

Overview of the streets

The following table gives an overview of all named traffic areas - streets, squares and bridges - in the district as well as some related information. In detail these are:

• Name / location : current name of the street, square or bridge. Via the link ( location ), the street, the square or the bridge can be displayed on various map services. The geoposition indicates approximately the middle. In the case of longer streets that lead through two or more parts of the city, it is therefore possible that the coordinate is in a different part of the city.
• Street code: official street code, consisting of a letter (first letter of the street, the square or the bridge) and a three-digit number.
• Length / dimensions in meters:
  Note: The length information contained in the overview are overview values rounded up or down according to mathematical rules , which were determined in the Digital Atlas North with the local scale. They are more for comparison purposes and, if official values ​​are known, are exchanged and marked separately.
  For squares, the dimensions are shown in the form a × b for rectangular systems or a × b × c for triangular systems with a as the longest edge.
  The addition ( in the district ) indicates how long the street is within the district if it runs through several districts.
• Name origin : origin or reference of the name.
• Date of designation : Year of the official designation or the first mention of a name, in case of uncertainty also the specification of a period.
• Notes : Further information on nearby institutions, the history of the street, historical names, monuments, etc.
• Image : Photo of the street or an adjacent object.
