Since the 13th century, after the construction of the „old“ Neustadt (now part of the district of Hamburg Old Town belonging) at the Nikolaikirche through Wirad from Boizenburg around 1188 at the instigation of Count Adolf III of Schauenburg (1164-1203) was one of Hamburg's main streets.
At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, Grosser Burstah was one of Hamburg's best shopping addresses. Hermann Tietz founded his department stores„ in buildings 12 and 14 on 1 March 1897, before the "Alsterhaus“ (also H. Tietz) became the top address.
About 100 metres south of the Großer Burstah is the Hamburg main church St Nikolai at the Hopfenmarkt. It was not rebuilt after its destruction in July 1943, but has served as a memorial ever since.
