Origin of the Name "Shulbrede"

[edit]

In Germany many towns have an old inner city road named "Schulbrede", where 'brede' simply means 'road', i.e. schoolroad.

It is quite often that the 'h' in 'Schul' (i.e. school, engl.) is omitted in earlier times in northern germany german, more precise Westfalia. Also it might be that it is connected to Yiddish, the middleage jewish language in Poland and Germany, which has a lot of words with only 'sh' instead of german 'sch'.

Here you find a 'Schulbrede' connected to a jewish school:
