Koelkenbeck Street (until ca. 1870)
Origin of name Ludger W. Koelkenbeck

This street was laid out in 1858 in a plan of lots by Adam Reineman and was named Koelkenbeck Street by the time the plan was recorded in 1860.[1][2] By 1871 the spelling had been changed to Kilkenbeck Street.[3]

It is named for Ludger W. Koelkenbeck, the editor of the German-language Republicaner newspaper, who is listed (under various spellings of his name) in city directories from 1856 to 1861.[a] He purchased four lots in Reineman's plan and moved there in 1859.[7][8][2]
