Rauschertorgasse
The Rauschertorgasse ( Italian Via della Roggia ) is a street in the old town area of the South Tyrolean capital Bozen . It connects Museumstrasse with Wangergasse with an almost south-north course .
The narrow street has been attested since 1237, when it appears in the register of notary Jakob Haas as Ruschgasze . In later documents it is also referred to as Rauschgasse ( in Rausgasczen, Raüszgasse, Rawschgassen ). Here was a Pfistererei of the Marienpfarrkirche , which is documented in 1437 as "Vnser women ofenhaws" and was run by master baker Rüdiger.
After the original name "Rauschgasse", a former city gate that closed the street to the north was called the Rauschertor , from which the current name comes from, which was decreed in 1901 by a municipal council. In the time of fascism the street was monolingual called Via del Ruscello , before the old name (with the new Italian translation Via della Roggia ) was restored in the post-war period .
The oldest old people's home in Bolzano is located in Rauschertorgasse and is now run by the Rauschertor Foundation. It was founded in 1863 as a municipal welfare center and was generously expanded thanks to a foundation from Wilhelmine Grätzl von Kofler .
The corner building facing Wangergasse has housed the Marienschule since 1907 , a girls' school with an adjoining home, run by the Congregation of the Tertiary Sisters of St. Francis of Brixen and now referred to as the Maria Hueber Gymnasium .
Noteworthy are the Stillendorf residence , which is located at the north-western beginning of the street and which originally dates back to the 13th century, and the neo-Romanesque Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus from the end of the 19th century, immediately south of it .
Rauschertorgasse is part of Bolzano's pedestrian zone .
