Grützmühlenmakergasse

Until the 17th century, this street only extended from the Holzmarkt (Timber Market) to the level of An der Schneidemühle. Both streets together were called Burggasse or Burgstraße (Castle Street) from the 16th into the 17th century. The newer part of the street, between An der Schneidemühle and the Fischmarkt (Fish Market), was initially called — in 1648 — Neue Gasse (New Lane) or Burgstraße. The name Neue Gasse did not prevail; Burgstraße was then transferred to the later Burgstraße, which had until then been called Schlosstraße (Palace Street). The older part of the Altstädtischer Graben was thus called Altstädtische Burgstraße (Old Town Castle Street), while the younger part was called Rechtstädtische Burgstraße (Right Town Castle Street). This younger part kept its name even when, at the end of the 18th century, the designation Altstädtischer Graben became common for the older part. Only after 1817 was this designation also extended to the section between Fischmarkt and An der Schneidemühle. The section between Holzmarkt and Große Mühlengasse was colloquially called Grützmühlenmakergasse in the mid-19th century. The area around house number 299 (110) was also colloquially called Auf den kurzen Brettern (On the Short Boards) in 1831.
