Neugarten

First mentioned in 1381 as "gardens toward Schidlitz." This mention already explains the name. Through the construction of fortifications on the Bischofsberg and Hagelsberg, the street was divided from 1655 by the Neugarter or Majoren Gate into two differently named sections. Until 1902, part of the later Promenade — from the junction at Schießstange to the corner of the Stadtgraben — also appears to have been counted as part of Neugarten. During this period, it was thus a street that "went around the corner." The first of the post-war names translates roughly as New World. The second the street owes to a Polish general killed by Ukrainian partisans. From around 1990, it once again bears the name New Gardens, translated into Polish.
