Am Stein

The few properties on this street are listed in the inheritance registers from the 16th century onward without a name of their own, assigned to the Rammbau district; in the Servis register of 1796 they are listed under the Hakelwerk. The earliest mention of the name could be identified on a plan from 1778. It appears, therefore, that the name arose relatively late, like the other names in the Hakelwerk.

The origin of the name cannot be determined with certainty. Should it nevertheless prove to be genuinely old, a connection already pointed out by Blech would offer a plausible explanation: "Stajnia" is Polish for "stable." In Pomerellian documents of the 13th century, "stayn" referred to an obligation attached to inn properties under Polish law, requiring them to provide lodging and accommodation to officials.

Indeed, a charter by Duke Sambor for the Oliva Monastery — purportedly from 1178 but actually dating from the second half of the 13th century — already mentions the inns belonging to the Hakelwerk and the dues they were required to pay. It is quite possible that the name refers to the lodging houses of the Slavic Hakelwerk that once stood at this location.
