history
The street has existed since at least 1293 (first mentioned) and was called Karlstraße from around 1815 to 1828 , then Neuhausergasse. In 1972 it was converted from a main traffic axis with two tram tracks to a pedestrian zone ; The occasion was the 1972 Olympic Games with an expected enormous influx of additional traffic. The street is named after the former village and today's district of Neuhausen , where the street leads out of town. South along the street is the Angerviertel and north the Hackenviertel .
