About street numbers:
Similar to most towns in Europe, in Czenowitz too they gave numbers
from the center to the outside , on the left odd numbers on the right
side even ones. This was done in Cz. from the Ringplatz to the North,
West, South and East . The Soviets and later the Ukrainians changed
very little of this except of course the main street Golovna that
united the Haupt-, Rathauss- and Siebenbuergerstrasse starting the
numbers from the Springbrunnenplatz (corner Bahhofstrasse, I think
some years the Golovna included the Bahnhofstrasse too).
Formerly the Hauptstrasse was numbered from South to North (Schmidt
and Fontyn an even number) and the other too from North to South. They
did not change for instance the numbering of the Cuciamarestr. that
continued to go from North to South because there was nothing to unite
with. Whenever other streets were given one name e.g. Karolinen und
Hormuzakigasse the same rule was used - starting from the vicinity of
the Ringplatz i.e. corner Tempelgasse.
I presume, according to the same rule that in the Schmidtgasse case
the numbers nearest the Primaria are 1 and 2 on left and right when
facing south.
