Rue Hittorf
The Rue Hittorf is a small street in the neighborhood Porte Saint-Martin of the 10th arrondissement in Paris .
history
Construction of the street, which is only 66 m long and 10 m wide, began on October 31, 1890. After its completion, it was named on December 26, 1893 after the architect Jakob Ignaz Hittorff (1792–1867), who was born in Cologne and has worked in Paris since 1810 who built the St-Vincent-de-Paul church and the Gare du Nord train station in the same arrondissement . Rue Hittorf is incorrectly spelled only with an ending "f" - as was often the case with the name of this famous architect in French specialist literature.
In order to name this small street after the architect who was important for Paris in the 19th century, the Cité de Magenta was shortened and the narrower part of the street was also called Cité Hittorf . This forms the extension of rue Hittorf and is a 46 m long private road, which was opened to traffic on January 22, 1868.
