history
middle Ages
When the city was founded in 1242, the old market and the following streets that are still in existence today were laid out in the old town ( map )
- Danish road,
- Flemish Street,
- Hassstrasse,
- Holstenstrasse (was called Brückenstrasse until the 15th century),
- Kehdenstrasse,
- Küterstrasse,
- Pfaffenstrasse,
- Schloßstraße (formerly Burgstraße) and
- Schuhmacherstrasse.
The Fischerstraße formerly Ritterstraße, which was also laid out in 1242, is no longer included. This street can be found for the last time on the city map from 1970. It was built over with the NDR building.
Today's Kiel includes districts - villages before the incorporation - in which and through which streets (paths) were laid before the year 1242.
- Holtenauer Strasse
- The country road leading from Brunswik via Wik and Holtenau into the Danish Wohld (today's Holtenauer and Prinz-Heinrich-Strasse) is, like the villages mentioned, a few decades older than the city and was already called Der Danish in the 13th century Way (via danica).

Origin of names
Street names in Kiel, like those of other cities, are a mixture of names
- after old field names , e.g. B. Achterkamp
- by places in the region, e.g. B. Achterwehrer Strasse
- according to personalities related to the city or of national / international importance, e.g. B. Adolf-Westphal-Strasse
- according to historically guaranteed and legendary people, e.g. B. Albert-Schweitzer-Weg
- for plants and animals, e.g. B. Ahornweg
Worth mentioning are "name nests" such as
- District Mettenhof , here (almost) all streets have been named after terms that are related to the Nordic countries .
- Suchsdorf district: here are, apart from the historical street names
- in the area of development in the 1950s, almost exclusively names of indigenous trees such as maple or birch path,
- in the area of development in the 1960s, only names of the German Baltic Sea islands such as Rügenweg or Fehmarnwinkel, which are accessed from Eckernförder Straße via Ostseestraße, and
- the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea islands as well as Halligen such as Sylter Bogen, Amrumring or Hoogewinkel, which can be accessed to a considerable extent from the North Sea Road,
been awarded. The separation between the "development areas" in Suchsdorf is largely made by Eckernförder Straße (formerly B76)
- Residential area in Kiel-Schilksee , here all streets are named after terms related to the sea. (Exception: Stubbekredder and Langenfelde) - see map
- Elmschenhagen district , many street names with reference to southern Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland.
- Russee district , street names in relation to Berlin .

Notation
The state capital Kiel generally adheres to the guidelines for the spelling of street names published by Duden-Verlag.
The following rules are important:
- Large and lower case
- The first word and all adjectives and numerals are capitalized, articles, prepositions and conjunctions are capitalized.
- Examples: Achter de Kark, Am Grünen Berg
- Separate and combined writing
- Street names consisting of a noun (or a name) and a basic word typical of street names such as B. Street, avenue, path or square are written together.
Examples: Königsweg, Hofholzallee - Street names, the first part of which is an unbowed adjective, are written together.
Examples: Hochstraße, Oberstraße - Street names whose first component is an inflected adjective are written separately.
Examples: Alter Kirchweg, Lange Reihe - Street names with adjectival derivatives on -er of place and country names are written separately.
Examples: Achterwehrer Strasse or Holtenauer Strasse
- Multi-part names
- Street names in which the basic word is composed of a multi-part name are written with hyphens.
- Examples: Adolf-Westphal-Straße, Albert-Schweitzer-Weg
Oddities
At the Kleiner Kiel , right next to the Ministry of Justice of the State of Schleswig-Holstein and close to the old Kiel town hall , a footpath is called the civil service track . A philosophers' walk can also be found on the Kleiner Kiel. The Schröpfcke is located near the former Kiel-Süd tax office .
