Hinter der Langen Brücke

The section between Leitergasse and Milchkannengasse was called: around 1440 versus strues lignorum (from the old ash and tar yard located here — burned down in 1449); in the 17th century Alte Stadthofgasse; in 1643 — only the western side — Hinter der Langen Brücke; in 1805 — only the western side — Brückengasse; in 1643 — only the eastern side — longa platea. 2. The section between Milchkannengasse and Kuhbrücke was called: around 1440 tuschen beiden Brücken (between the two bridges); in 1643, together with a part of the Milchkannengasse, already Hopfengasse after the hop barns standing here; in the 17th century, together with the Münchengasse, Flachsgasse (Flax Lane) after the flax weighing house standing here at the corner of both lanes; in 1770 Nonnengasse bey der Flachswaage (Nuns' Lane by the Flax Scales). 3. The part from the Kuhbrücke to the Thornsche Gasse was only built up after 1440 and called Aschhofgasse in the 17th century (after the new ash yard built beyond the Thornsche Gasse in 1449); by 1643 it was already counted as part of the Hopfengasse. Toward the end of the 18th century, the name Hopfengasse then prevailed along the entire length of the lane, though initially in the form Lange Hopfengasse. Even after the war, the old name was retained, translated into Polish.
