Until then, the section between Knieperwall and Schillstrasse was called Am Hospitaler Tor, the section between Schillstrasse and Mühlenstrasse was called Auf dem Ramsberg; the section between Mühlenstrasse and Ravensberger Strasse was called Veghevur ("purgatory"), later on Kettenstrasse. Only the section between Ravensberger Straße and Heilgeiststraße was called Mönchstraße even before 1869. The section between Heilgeiststraße and Böttcherstraße was called Auf dem Hüx and the section between Böttcherstraße and Neuer Markt was called Haakstraße.

Today's house numbers were assigned in the 19th century. In Mönchstraße there are numerous buildings under monument protection , see also the list of architectural monuments in Stralsund .
