Zschokkestrasse ; Old Town district ; ZIP 39104

Formerly:
Brühl (around 1377)
Sack , also in a sack (from 1730)
Pröschelstrasse (from 1843)
Luisenstrasse (from 1854 to 1887)
This street initially ran as a dead end from Am Krökentor to the south. In 1843 the entrepreneur and coppersmith August Pröschel made a breakthrough south to Braunehirschstraße . After the incorporation of Magdeburg Neustadt, the name Luisenstrasse, which had been used until then, could no longer be used, as there was also a Luisenstrasse in Neue Neustadt . It was therefore named after the poet Heinrich Zschokke, who was born in the neighboring Schrotdorfer Strasse No. 3 .
After the heavy destruction of the Second World War, the city was rebuilt, which did not adhere to the historically grown urban structure. Zschokkestrasse was built over with new buildings. The northernmost prefabricated building on the back of the west side of the Breite Weg is now at the point where the street was . In 2001 another street that was built nearby after the war was named after Zschokke.

Zschokkestrasse ; Old Town district ; ZIP 39104

Formerly: Virchowstraße (section of Virchowstraße) (until 2001)
The renaming of the street after the Swiss writer Heinrich Zschokke , who was born in Magdeburg, was decided on March 15, 2001 by the city council. The Magdeburg Literary Society had repeatedly urged Zschokke to be honored. An originally existing Zschokkestrasse was not rebuilt after the destruction of the Second World War. The renaming of the section of Virchowstrasse made sense for several reasons. The section had no connection to the actual Virchowstrasse, a little further south. The naming was probably more informal in the GDR era. It is assumed that the People's Police District Office, as the responsible registration authority, only took over the name of the Virchowstrasse development area for the addresses of the new street after the completion of the GDR residential buildings built in the 1980s . The confusing naming should now be corrected. In addition, the historic Zschokkestrasse was not too far away. It was also stated that Zschokke's work as a teacher would suit the neighboring campus of Otto von Guericke University . A hearing with the property owners concerned did not result in a negative reaction. In the preparatory committee meeting of the Municipal and Legal Committee on February 22, the representative of the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen parliamentary group criticized the fact that only the owner, a large housing construction company, but not the numerous tenants, had been contacted. However, there were no content-related concerns.

To the angel ; District Beyendorf soles ; ZIP 39122

The street was named on August 15, 2002 by the city council. After the incorporation of Beyendorf-Sohlens, the street had become part of the city's construction work.

Why this name was chosen, however, could not be found in the resolution proposed by the city council. However, the road leads from Beyendorf to the settlement around the former Gasthof Zum Engel . This inn was first mentioned in a document in 1843. It served as a rest stop and relaxation area on the main road leading to Magdeburg from Leipzig ( Leipziger Chaussee ).
