Neugarten

In 1381 the "horti sicut itur versus Schedelicz" (gardens toward Schidlitz) are first mentioned. Around 1430 the current name already appears in the inheritance register as "nygarten." This mention already explains the name - these were new gardens.

In the 17th century, Neugarten was divided into two sections by the fortification of the Bischofsberg and Hagelsberg. The part lying within the Neugarter or Majoren Gate, built in 1655, has since been distinguished as the first or inner Neugarten from the second or outer Neugarten lying beyond the gate. Until 1902, part of the later Promenade - from the junction at Schießstange to the corner of 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.
