Hirtenstraße

The Hirtenstraße is a street that runs south from Platz to the south. A cowherd's house that existed in 1700 gave the former Hirtengasse its name. It is one of those former streets that kept their course even after the demolition of the Scheunenviertel.
The following buildings are located on it:
* No. 4: 9./10. Communal school for the poor (currently: The Grand )
* No. 5-6: southern side of Poelzig-Block 14
** This includes the entrance to the cinema halls 2 and 3 of the Babylon
===History===
Because of the degrading nature of the name Gasse, the residents asked for the name to be changed to Liegnitzstrasse, Kleine Viktoria-Strasse or Theaterstrasse named after the nearby Victoria Theater (Münzstrße). The term “Gasse” was simply replaced by “Street”, and the traffic route was paved.
