Nordpromenade

3 Maja

History

A rather old street, always named after the Hagelsberg, at the foot of which it ran. Only in 1902 did it receive the name Promenade. On this occasion, part of the street Neugarten was also added to the Promenade. Around 1910 it was renamed Nordpromenade to distinguish it from the second Promenade, called Südpromenade. An exception was of course the Nazi era, during which many streets were named after contemporary heroes. This street, too, was named after an SA man. The Hagelsberggraben was formed by part of the former Nordpromenade (house numbers 14m and 14n). In return, the former Steinbocksbrill was added as Nordpromenade No. 9. After the war, the street was renamed to Street of the 3rd of May (Polish national holiday).
