Stara jevrejska četvrt i Jevrejska ulica u Beogradu

Abstract

Jevrejska ulica je jedna od malobrojnih (a možda i jedina) ulica u Beogradu koja je svoje ime zadržala skoro dva stoleća, a svoj položaj i pravac i znatno duže. Na prvom do sada poznatom planu Beograda, u kome su upisana i imena ulica, a koji je krajem 18. veka uradio jedan Austrijanac, Jevrejska ulica je obeležena kao Juden Gassen, dok je njen pravac skoro identičan sa današnjim. Jedino su za vreme okupacije fašisti promenili njeno ime i nazvali je Dorćolskom, ali joj je u novoj Jugoslaviji vraćen njen stari naziv.

Jewish Street is one of the few (and perhaps the only) streets in Belgrade that has kept its name for nearly two centuries, and its location and direction for much longer. On the first known plan of Belgrade, which also has street names inscribed by an Austrian at the end of the 18th century, Jewish Street is marked as Juden Gassen, while its direction is almost identical to present-day. Only during the occupation, the fascists changed the street name and called Dorćol, but in the new Yugoslavia, the old name was returned.
