New horse market
The New Horse Market is a street and an adjoining square in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli .
location
Today's area of the New Horse Market is roughly in the shape of an elongated triangle with an approximately 100 meter wide base line in the south and a point 350 meters further north at the corner of the shoulder blade and Schanzenstrasse . Stresemannstrasse is adjacent to the north-western corner of the square and the branching street Neuer Kamp and the north-western corner of Heiligengeistfeld on the south-eastern corner , on the latter of which the over one hectare large former, listed central livestock market stands.
The eastern side of the square as well as the short southern stretch of road going transversely from it form the street “New Horse Market”, into which Budapester Straße joins from the south and with its great width interrupts the angled street course “New Horse Market”.
On the western side there has been the street "Beim Grünen Jäger" since 1932, named after the inn that used to be there; According to a map from 1910, this street was still called “Jägerstraße”.
The border between the two cities of Altona / Elbe and Hamburg ran through this until 1938, running into Schanzenstrasse in the north and towards Nobistor in the south . This border course is still marked today with "boundary stones", which are embedded in the pavement in front of the houses at Beim Grünen Jäger 13, 16 (here 2 pieces) and 21 and are marked "A | H". They are listed.

Course of the street and house numbers
The new horse market street starts as it is today in the north as a continuation of the Schanzenstraße with the house number 12 and crosses the street Neuer Kamp coming from the east in the south ; The house numbering continues up to 35 beyond this . From this point on, the further course of the street is Budapester Straße (formerly Eimsbütteler Straße ). From this, about 100 meters behind the point of contact between Neuer Pferdearkt and Neuer Kamp, a narrower, almost 100 meters long section of road branches off at right angles to the west, this leads to the address Neuer Pferdemarkt with house numbers 1 on Budapester Straße to 6 on Wohlwillstraße, which crosses further west . There is also house number 36 , which is assigned to the "Kulturhaus" building located in the middle of the green belt.
Uses
The square was used for a horse market in the 19th century and was part of the street scapula until 1841 . From this year it was given its current name to distinguish it from the horse market in Hamburg's old town. The latter was named Gerhart-Hauptmann-Platz in the year of death of the writer and Nobel Prize winner Gerhart Hauptmann (1946) .
In 1813/14 residential houses were built on the western edge of the square, some of which were used for commercial purposes in connection with the horse market. "Commissioners" , veterinarians and, in 1834, a factory for carriages and car bodies settled around the square . This company, the "F. Sachs & Sohn ”is still active at number 27 today. The “Sauerberghof” workshop, gas station and garage from 1926 in the house at Beim Grünen Jäger 11/13 is also a listed building.
The pharmacy at Neuer Pferdemarkt 12, founded in 1825, is one of the oldest pharmacies in the Hanseatic city and has been preserved in its original form and historical furnishings. Between this pharmacy and the right of opening out with a gate entrance August Passage was with the address Neuer Pferdemarkt 13 , the first branch of Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg. This appears on a city map from 1900 with the building registered there with the designation "Hagenbek Thierpark" [sic!]. A hotel as well as several restaurants and service providers are located on the same street.
The inner area of the square between the streets "Beim Grünen Jäger" and "Neuer Pferdemarkt" is now designed as a small, tree-lined green corridor, with the northern corner cut off from Stresemannstraße (formerly "Gärtnerstraße") being developed as a public car parking area. In July 2017, local social initiatives named a meadow section of the green corridor "Arrivati Park". In the immediate vicinity, at the confluence with Thadenstrasse, there is a popular meeting place known colloquially as "Corner".
