“Rue de la Consolation” (Trooststraat in Dutch) is a Brussels street located in the commune of Schaerbeek and going from Rue des Coteaux up to the crossroads linking Rue Alexandre Markelbach, Rue Gustave Fuss, and Avenue Clays.
There used to be one of the Maelbeek ponds down the street, where reeds grew. In old Dutch, a reed is a roos. The name evolved into Ten Roost and later into 't Rooststraat to finally lead to Troostraat, i.e. Rue de la Consolation in French.
