List of street names in Basel
The list of street names in Basel contains all officially named streets, alleys and squares in the city of Basel in the canton of Basel-Stadt and lists the meanings and circumstances of the names given.
history
The first written mention of a street name dates from the year 1190. With the beginning of the Helvetic Republic , the numbering of all houses according to the French model was introduced in 1798; this lasted until the Land Register Act was passed in 1860, when white enamel signs with black letters were used for the first time . The official designation was made by the government council , but only legally legitimized from 1888. In 1938 a Federal Council decision obliged the cantons to introduce nomenclature commissions ; due to the Second World War Basel-Stadt did not create the legal basis until 1947, so that the nomenclature commission responsible to this day was finally formed in 1956.
In 2008, the then Grand Councilor Lukas Engelberger submitted a proposal according to which the street name signs should be provided with a (historical) brief explanation. In 2010 the government council approved the matter and instructed the cantonal nomenclature commission to work with the historian André Salvisberg to develop and adopt it. As part of a research project started in 2008 at the University of Basel , it was waited until it was completed in 2016 in order to be able to take new findings into account. The first signs were put up in the inner city at the end of 2017, and further quarters followed in stages in the following years.
