Schuhhof Quedlinburg

This path is curious. It starts in a house on the market and ends in hell.

Why is the street called Hell? Nobody knows. But the wandering monk told me that back then the poor people heated with peat, obtained directly from the Bode. Throwing fresh peat on the fire was like throwing a tear gas bomb in a closed room. You can imagine the rest.

This path is called Schuhhof. The entrance begins here through the house "Markt 52".

The street "Hell" is in the north of Quedlinburg. It is about 535 meters long.
The Höllenhof, a listed building of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Quedlinburg, has the address Hölle 11. The street "Hölle" leads to the street "Pölle".
"In a document from 1233 there should be the mention ... of a farm and a house in the Pölle, the Hell Infernus, which is ascribed to the Höllenhof." (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Höllenhof_(Quedlinburg))

In the schoolyard 3-6a there is the half-timbered hotel Vorhof zur Hölle. The name is historically based because the alley next to the hotel has been called "Hell" since the Middle Ages.
In the forecourt of this Höllen-Gasse there are four former craftsmen's houses in which
Quedlinburg shoemakers once lived and worked, which have been transformed into a modern, individual hotel.
The guests live there absolutely quietly and are still in the center and right next to the market square.

In the historic center of Quedlinburg there are beautiful old streets. Partly you feel right back in the Middle Ages. These streets are sometimes curious names. For example, "Hell" and next to it the "forecourt to hell". In the latter, there is now a hotel garni in the old houses. (😁 Apartment in the forecourt to hell) secure4all.de/weblotse/57076/mobile
