According to the Hanover history sheets of 1914, the street was first named in the Middle Ages in 1320 with a Latin name as via stupae , then in 1340 as Stovenwechsel . Three centuries later the street was called Auf dem Ferbehof , because in 1640 a dyer was doing his business there on the island .

After the end of the Thirty Years War , according to the Hanoverian mayor and chronicler Christian Ulrich Grupen in 1669, people called the place Rademacher-Winkel , "because at that time two Rademacher lived next to each other on this place ".

After the Rademacher-Winkel was still known under this name in 1750, the name Rademacherstraße has been handed down from 1780 . The historian Karl Friedrich Leonhardt interpreted in his writing Streets and Houses in Old Hanover in the Hanover History Sheets of 1924 the naming "after Rademacher Tönnies Rodewald, who lived at Rademacherstraße 11" ( baptized on September 22, 1633 in Hanover; buried on February 21 1690 ibid).

A few years after the end of the Kingdom of Hanover , according to the address book of the Royal Residence City of Hanover from 1868 , mainly workers and simple people lived in Rademacherstrasse or Radmacherstrasse .

The narrow Rademacherstraße with its half-timbered houses connected the two streets crossing the island, Ernst-August-Strasse and Inselstrasse , whose buildings consisted mainly of half-timbered houses . These buildings in particular fell victim to the fire bombs during the air raids on Hanover in World War II . But in 1961 Wilhelm Hauschild , press photographer for the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung , still photographed the demolition of one of the last but damaged houses on the former Rademacherstraße . In the same year the now undeveloped street was closed, and in 1962 the Rademacher staircase was built.

In the 1970s, the “winding” curbs of the former Rademacherstraße were “clearly visible” on the site that was then used as a parking lot on Schlossstraße and Leibnizufer.

During archaeological excavations in the course of the inner-city renovation of Hannover City 2020+ , the first artifacts to be found near the former Rademacherstraße were faience from baroque tiled stoves .
