Karpfenseigen

History

This street was created as a waterfront street after the mouth of the Radaune Canal was relocated in the 17th century. That is why it was initially also called An der Radaune (On the Radaune). Only from around 1840 was it regularly called Karpfenseigen. The name comes from the Seigen (fish traps) in which fish were kept fresh in the Radaune Canal. Whether these were only carp cannot be verified. The current name means Carp Lane in translation.
