Schnitzelburg, Louisville
- Schnitzelburg, Louisville
Schnitzelburg is a neighborhood three miles southeast of downtown Louisville, Kentucky USA.
The area was first plotted in 1866 by D.H. Meriwether and known as Meriwether's Enlargement, but actual construction didn't begin until 1891 when a streetcar line extended to the intersection of Goss and Texas Avenues. The first residents in Schnitzelburg were immigrants who arrived there from Germany, many of whom were carpenters, lending to the neighborhood's name, which translates into "carpenter town".
Schnitzelburg is famous for a street ball game called "Dainty", where a flat, bat-like stick is used to strike another stick on the ground, making it airborne, which is then hit like a baseball as far as possible. Every July the World Dainty Championship is held in the neighborhood. Check's Cafe is located at the intersection of Hickory and Burnett Streets and is among Louisville's better known restaurants. Manual Stadium is located in Schnitzelburg.
Its boundaries are Clarks Lane to the south, Shelby Street to the west, CSX railroad tracks to the north, and Goss Avenue to the east.
