List of former street names

The list of former street names does not claim to be complete.

Some of the no longer existing street names in Bergeborbeck come from the time of Mayor Rudolf Heinrich, who held the office between 1881 and 1907 and campaigned for the naming of the streets in the 1890s. At that time it was not yet customary to put the street name at the beginning and end of a street, as the buildings were not very dense, so the street names were also on the house number plates. To make this as possible as possible, Heinrich gave the streets extremely short names. Most of the street names were changed in 1915 after the Borbeck mayor's office was incorporated into the city of Essen in order to avoid duplication.
