The Silbergasse ( Italian Via Argentieri ) is one of the oldest streets in the city of Bolzano .

The slightly curved street with its representative house front forms the back of the Laubengasse . At the west end it joins the southern section of the Obstplatz , at the east end it merges into the Kornplatz .

However, as early as the late 14th century, a building was called the Silberhaus (Silbergasse 32), from which the name so-called Silbergasse , which was first attested in the urban land register of 1765, is derived.
