The street began at the market square and ended on the Hunsrückstrasse until the 20th century. It was only between 1931 and 1935 that the houses on the east side at the intersection of Hunsrückstrasse were demolished and Bolkerstrasse opened up to what was then Hindenburgwall, today's Heinrich-Heine-Allee, and thus extended.
Bolkerstrasse used to be one of the most important shopping streets and business areas in the city. In 1874, for example, 40 merchants and almost 200 craftsmen settled here. (previous | next | back to album | 2020:09:27 17:56:25 | 56% of an album)
