history
Lohgerberstraße is made up of two historical individual streets, the street above the Gerberbruchs (between the corner of Küterbruch / Kleine Goldstraße and the corner of Gerberbruch / Große Goldstraße) and the section up to the Nikolaikirche. It was not until 1804 that these two streets were combined to form today's Lohgerberstraße by a council resolution. The decisive factor for the choice of name was the Gerberbruch (the Gerberlohe is a tree bark extract for leather production).
The development on Lohgerberstraße was quite modest, with some gabled houses dominating stalls. The buildings were either used and inhabited by craftsmen, for example bacon cutters or bone carvers, or by members of the clergy of St. Nicolai. Lohgerberstrasse was largely spared from the great city fire in 1677 , but its northern section was severely damaged in the nights of bombing at the end of April 1942. Two-story houses with stylized gables were later built there.
The buildings on Lohgerberstrasse that are well worth seeing include number 11, a converted granary from the second half of the 18th century, which was given a brick facade in 1815. House number 35 is a two-storey plastered building from the Baroque era . At Lohgerberstraße 28/29 there is a late medieval double-gabled house, the "Gothic" facade of which, however, was not rebuilt until the 1990s. A stone eaves house from the early 17th century is also worth seeing.
Especially in its southern section, in connection with the alley at the Nikolaikirche , the Lohgerberstraße gives an impression of the historic Rostock streetscape.
