In 1428, a cross lane belonging to Neugarten was referred to as "Schinkelgasse," apparently after a personal name; by its location, this meant the present-day Logengang (Lodge Passage). From around 1656 it was known as "Stinkgang" (Stink Passage). Since the nearby Schützengang also laid claim to this designation, the two were later carefully distinguished: the latter became "Großer Stinkgang" (Great Stink Passage), while the Logengang was called "Kleiner Stinkgang" (Small Stink Passage).

Only in 1877 did the lane receive its present name, after the property belonging to the Lodge Eugenia. When the Nazis banned the lodges, the name changed yet again - it was henceforth called "Langer Gang" (Long Passage). After the war the lane was still listed for some years under the Polish name ul. Masońska (Freemason's Lane) before finally disappearing.
