Red barrel street

Street named after an inn, Zum roten Faesslein, 1636 AD. This is the current name, since 1945, although the name changed 18 times since 1275AD. As a reminder, Strasbourg was founded in the year 8 BC, 2033 years ago by roman soldiers, but people were living here long before. When was your town founded?

Among others names, we have a Preaching Fox street, rue du renard prechant... More about it later.

    Apparently Belgrade was renamed Singidunum (which I knew) in 257 BC after it was conquered by the Celts. That said, I need to seek out ofd street names here, but so many are named after war heroes and are not so picturesque.

    Stockholm, 1187. But people lived there 6000 years ago.
