Hafnersteig, Vienna
Around 1300 and still in 1547 the entire street was called Unter den Hafner, 1710 Hafnergässel. The name derives from the operating and sales facilities of the local potters. Between today's Franz-Josefs-Kai and the Griechengasse there is the designation Bei Roten Turm in 1377-1511, between Griechengasse and Laurenzerberg 1333-1518 in (also behind) St. Laurenz and in 1770 (probably after the local vegetable shops) Sauerkrautgässel. The term Hafnersteig has been in use for the entire course of the road since 1786.
The Hafnersteig ended until 1945/1954 at Adlergasse, a street parallel to Franz-Josefs-Kai, which was not restored after the destruction at the end of the Second World War. The remaining south-facing building line of Adlergasse was incorporated into Franz-Josefs-Kai.

Hafnersteig, historical name after the potters who used to live there. In southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the job title Hafner refers to the trade of the stove builder and also refers to potters who produce stove tiles. The alley was called Unter den Hafnern until around 1547 and Hafnergässl around 1710; Parts of the alley were also called Sauerkrautgässel and Hinter St. Laurenz (after the former monastery of St. Laurenz near Fleischmarkt). The term Hafnersteig has been in use since 1786 at the latest.

On the corner of Hafnersteig and Griechengasse is the former tavern Zum Gelben Adler.

The alley has been named after the potters (potters who made stove tiles) who settled here since 1786. However, the name can be traced back to the Romans, when the course of the street was known as "lati sigulos" (among the potters).
