Schwarzrauchgasse

Schwarzrauchgasse is almost as old as the city, although it only recently became a ward. Originally called tannery row, it was a set of tanneries, stockyards, and slaughterhouses built on the far side of the Silverflow, far away from any noses that would object to the strong smell of manure, viscera, and chemicals said industries produced. Over the years, as the mining industry in the city grew, various foundries, alchemical plants, and other businesses that produced foul smells, loud noises, and choking smoke joined the tanneries. Eventually, this proto-industrial area developed a shell of tenements and rundown apartment buildings and was ultimately surrounded by a wall, thus becoming the Schwarzrauchgasse.
