Raderstrasse
The Raderstraße ( Estonian Rataskaevu tänav ) is a street in the Estonian capital Tallinn ( German Reval ).
It runs from Langstrasse (Estonian: Pikk ) in the north for more than 160 meters in a south-westerly direction to the transition to Ritterstrasse ( Rüütli ). At the southern end the street Kurzer Domberg ( Lühike jalg ) joins from the west and Nikolaistraße ( Niguliste ) from the east . In the middle of the street, Raderstraße forms a small square, onto which Dunkerstraße ( Dunkri ) flows from the east . In the square is the wheel fountain , from which the street owes its name. Hotel St. Petersbourg is to the northeast of the square .
From 1917 to 1924, the Estonian opera singer and actor Alfred Sällik lived in the house at Raderstraße 18. A plaque attached to the building commemorates him. At the house at Raderstraße 22 there is another plaque commemorating the painter Michel Sittow . A plaque at the Hotel St. Petersbourg commemorates the establishment of the Kalev Cyclists' Association there in 1901, which today exists as Eesti Spordiselts Kalev .
The buildings at Raderstraße 8 and 14 go back to the 15th century, the house at Raderstraße 16 to the 14th century. All three buildings are registered as architectural monuments. The Belgian Embassy is located in Raderstraße 2 .
