Petersiliengasse

History

After the two above-mentioned names, this lane was called "Petercziliengasse" from 1415. The Petersiliengassen (Parsley Lanes) known from other Baltic cities always had a very bad reputation. For this Danzig lane, however, nothing of the sort can be demonstrated, so one can assume that this lane received its name from the vegetable vendors operating here.
