history

The street was built in the 17th century and was named after Jean-Baptiste Oudry on December 28, 1894 . From 1733 to 1755 Oudry was director of the Paris tapestry manufactory . Previously, the street was called Rue de la Voie-Creuse - also: Rue Creuse - (roughly: Hohle Gasse) and was renamed Rue des Cornes (Hörnergasse) in 1789 - because of ox horns on the fences along the way.

Known residents
