    The Fischerstraße, which crossed the Harzstraße at this point, was during the reign of the last Catholic Duke Heinrich d. J. (1514 - 1568) the eastern moat of the then called Liebfrauenstadt settlement before the dam festival.
    The stone bridge that led the Harzstraße through a city canal, the Bruch or Langen Graben, before the First World War was only about three meters wide and arched over a Schwibbogen in the Amsterdam style. As late as 1723, a wooden bridge made of transverse planks stood here. The flank walls of the baroque canal of circa 1750 still run beneath the Fischerstraße. Beyond it in an easterly direction was the Armeleuteviertel - demolished in the 1930s and 1970s, with a foul smelling tannery basin on the southern edge.
    The Harzstraße was, despite the lack of eastern degrees until well into the 19th century in addition to the Kanzlerstrasse the most distinguished street Wolfenbüttel. At the western end stood the former von Dehnsche Haus, in the middle the Samson School and synagogue of the Jewish community.

      At this point where the Harzstrasse crosses with the Fischerstrasse was the reg. Time of Duke Heinrich the Younger The eastern moat. In 1723 there was a wooden bridge made of cross planks here. This was already replaced by a stone bridge before the First World War.
      Alongside Kanzleistraße, Harzstraße was the most elegant street in Wolfenbüttel until well into the 19th century.

        Today's town of Wolfenbüttel owes its name to the former moated castle of the same name. The settlement area around Wolfenbüttel Castle, the district around the residential castle that still stands today, was later named Dammfestung after a dam that had been built around the castle in the swampy area of the Oker river. This dam fortress and the various districts of the old and new Heinrichstadt, Auguststadt and today's Juliusstadt, which together with the dam fortress have borne the city name Wolfenbüttel since 1747, separated and flowed through artificially created arms of the Okerstrom. Today, with a few exceptions, these Wolfenbüttel waterways no longer exist. A signposted tour should help clarify the former location and shape of the ditches and canals in the city area
