Groddeckgasse

This alley, through the middle of which, as so often in the Lower Town, a drainage ditch ran lengthwise, came into being around 1650. The northern side was initially called Kuckuckengasse (Cuckoo Lane), while the southern side was counted as part of Pestilenzgasse (Pestilence Lane — the epidemic hospital was located here at the time). From 1763 onward the entire alley was counted as part of the latter. In 1883 it was renamed to Gartengasse (Garden Lane), and after 1920 finally to Groddeckgasse (after Lord Mayor Karl August Groddeck). Today's name translates to Council Lane.
