Fleischergasse

The old name, appearing since 1362, derives from the personal name Wolf. The second part "Hagen" actually means enclosure, and over time also the enclosed area itself. So a Mr. Wolf presumably had an enclosed property here. From the 16th century onward the name Fleischergasse (Butchers' Lane), derived from the suburban meat stalls located between Katergasse and Gertrudengasse, came into use. From 1945 to 1947 the section of the alley between Vorstädtischer Graben and St. Trinitatis-Kirchengasse was called ul. Franciszkańska (Franciscan Lane). Today's name is a correct translation of the old one. At Fleischergasse No. 69 stood the Julius Sauer printing house, where a considerable portion of Danzig's postage stamps were produced.
