Salzgitter

New secret on YouTube

In the current episode of "Salzgitter Secrets", the Medienzentrum gets to the bottom of a story from Salzgitter-Calbecht.

The old sign for Kanzleistraße can still be seen today.

Decades ago, a particularly creative administrative employee is said to have been involved in choosing the street names. Back then, around the time the town was founded in 1942, Calbecht had no street names, only numbers, and the town council wanted to change this. The head of administration at the time was commissioned to do so.

Street names are usually derived from old field names, honor personalities, show the way, describe it or are based on buildings. This was not the case with Kanzleistraße in Calbecht, as it was not the home of a lawyer or notary.

Lilli Fach, local historian of Calbecht.

In the film, Lillie Fach, Calbecht's local historian, explains what once happened and how Kanzleistraße in the village got its name.
