Hirschenplatz

Im Sp?tmittelalter als schmale Gasse st?dtischer Schweinemarkt. Er wurde um 1545 vor das Baslertor verlegt. Nach einem Brand legte man 1555/56 zwei H?user nieder und schuf so den << Neuen Platz >>. Den Namen erhielt der Platz vom Gasthaus Hirschen, das seit 1472 bezeugt ist.

German-English translation:

In the late Middle Ages this narrow lane was the city pig market, which was transferred in 1545 to the Basel Gate. A fire in 1555-56 burned two houses down and created the "New Square". The square received its name from the Gasthaus Hirschen (Inn of the Deer), which is known to have existed since 1472.
