Kleine Bäckergasse

The streets of the Hakelwerk -- a medieval settlement district outside the main town walls -- to which this lane belonged, only received their own names in the first decades of the 17th century. A plan from 1608 still designates them all as "plateae anonymae" (unnamed streets).

The designation "Langer Krug" (Long Tavern) originally came from Jungferngasse No. 3 but was also used in the 15th century to identify the Plappergasse and the Kleine Backergasse.

In 1619, the name Backergasse first appears in the inheritance register, initially applying to the Plappergasse as well. As early as 1624, a distinction was made between the Grosse Backergasse (later renamed Plappergasse) and the Kleine Backergasse (Small Baker Lane).

On the first post-war city map, the lane was still recorded under the curious Polish name "Zapiecek" (meaning the bench or nook beside a stove), before it too disappeared for good.
