List of streets and squares in Bolzano
The names of streets and squares in Bolzano originally developed through common usage.
Numerous place and street names from the period up to 1500 have been documented many times over in the old town. At the old place names include the Fruit Square ( at Obern place ), the Lower Square (today's Town Hall Square), the Kornplatz ( Cornplatz, Koren place ), the sample space ( auff the pattern ), the Plärrer (one open space in today Gummer alley).
The following are documented on streets before 1500: Eisack ( brücken ) gasse ( in Gassen Eysackhpruggen ), Erhardgasse (today's Franziskanergasse), Fleischgasse (today's Museumstrasse ), Hintergasse (also Erhard-, later Karrnergasse, today's Dr.-Streiter -Gasse ; in Obst gassen, Hindergass ), Hudergasse (northern section of today's Goethestrasse and lower end of the fruit square; Hudergasse, Huderstang ), the arbors or vaults ( below the vaults ), the Obergasse (in Bozen-Dorf), the Raingasse ( where Rayn ) that Rauschertorgasse ( Rauschgazzen ) that Spielhofgasse (today Pfarrplatz between church and former Holy spirit hospital , via communis que the Spilhoff dicitur ), the Schustergasse (later Predigergasse and contemporary Goethe street) and the Wangergasse ( today's Bindergasse ; Wangergazze, Wagnergassen ). Smaller passages and crossways in the city center such as Steglein (on Silbergasse ) and on Gesslen are also attested by name.
Only around 1890 and in the course of urban expansion did the municipality of Bolzano and the rural communities of Gries and Zwölfmalgrei , which make up the city of Bolzano today, officially establish names or give names to previously unnamed or newly built streets, for example in the so-called Neustadt . This was mainly due to postal and tourist reasons. At that time all names were monolingual German.
After the annexation of South Tyrol in 1920, the March on Rome in 1922 and as a result of the Italianization program announced by Ettore Tolomei in 1923 , the fascists began with a nationalist and monolingual Italian renaming of many streets and squares. In 1929 and 1936 in particular, numerous streets were renamed. After Mussolini's disempowerment, the street names were partially replaced: the Nazi authorities in the foothills of the Alps from 1943 to 1945 did not forbid the Italian names, but added the German names to monolingual signs .
After the end of the war, some Italians tore down the bilingual signs and replaced them again with monolingual Italian ones. This had to be reversed due to an order from the American military authorities . As a result, a commission was set up in 1946 to deal with the question of signs. An important democratic-republican renaming took place with the freedom street , the former Corso dell'Impero .
At the end of 1948 a new commission was formed because compromises could not be reached in everything. Fascist grandees and dignitaries were removed, but many nationalist, war-glorifying and anti-Austrian names have remained to this day:
- Amba-Alagi-Strasse, Cesare-Battisti-Strasse, Armando-Diaz-Strasse, Luigi-Cadorna-Strasse, Col-di-Lana-Strasse, Duca d'Aosta-Strasse, Giuseppe-Garibaldi-Strasse, Pater-Reginaldo-Giuliani -Straße, Antonio-Locatelli-Straße, Montellostraße, Piavestraße, Siegesplatz, Vittorio-Veneto-Straße, 4th November Square.
In 2002 the city of Bolzano set an example by renaming the Victory Square to Peace Square ( Piazza della Pace ). In a referendum initiated by the Italian right-wing parties, however, the residents of the city of Bolzano (around 73% Italian and 26% German-speaking) voted with around 62% for the renaming in Siegesplatz.
Many streets are named after Italian cities. In contrast, there is only one Austrian city (Innsbrucker Straße) and no German one.
In recent times, names of women and anti-fascists have been chosen for new names .
All Bolzano street signs are bilingual in Italian and German.
