History
The original name of the street ( Est. Kraamipoodnike , German: Kremer ) is Shop.
The modern name of the street ( Est. Kulla - gold, Est. Sepp - blacksmith) is associated with jewelry , in the XVIII century the houses on the street were bought up by jewelers, at first the street was called Hybseppa (Serebryany masters), and then Kullassep [1] . The governor of Estonia, who systematized the names of city streets, Prince Mikhail Shakhovskoy demanded in 1872 to supplement the names with translations into Russian and put up signs in the “three local languages”. The Germanized name Goldschmitskaya, proposed for Kullassep Street, did not like him and he proposed the Golden-Bit. The magistrate proposed his new version, with which they agreed - Silver.
The street was part of an ancient road from the city market on Town Hall Square to the continental areas of Estonia. It is believed that the first fortress wall of Tallinn , built in the second half of the 13th century, ran along the street.
