Lintgasse is an alley (German: Gasse) in the Old town of Cologne, Germany between the two squares of Alter Markt and Fischmarkt.
The Lintgasse was first mentioned in the 12th century as »in Lintgazzin«, which may have derived from basketmakers described, weaving fish baskets out of Linden tree barks.
During this time, the Lintgasse was called »Stink-Linkgaß«, as the alley was unpopular for its poor air quality.
On the corner of Alter Markt and Lintgasse stands the listed Gaffel-Haus »Zur Brezel«.
The building was a significant place in the history of Cologne and only converted into a beer house in the late 19th century.
