Historical Streets and Squares 1

The streets and squares in the center of Saeckingen were very popular motifs for the historic postcards, especially the Muensterplatz, the Rheinbrueckstrasse and the Steinbrueckstrasse.

The Muensterplatz about 1950. The area around the
cathedral was part of the monastery.

Market on the Muensterplatz, 1959. In the early times no houses could be built on this square because of the existence of a big royal building (Palatine). The market was in the Rheinbrueckstrasse, formerly called Marktgasse.

The Rheinbrueckstrasse with Scheffel's House and the entrance to the Wooden Bridge, about 1940. The street got its name in the 19th century. Before that, the northern part was called Marktgasse, and the southern part Rheingasse.
