List of streets named after Adolf Hitler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Adolf Hitler Platz)

Adolf Hitler street sign being taken down in Trier during denazification

This is a partial list of streets and squares named after Adolf Hitler during the era of Nazi Germany.

The zeal with which German municipal authorities attempted,[citation needed] immediately after the seizure of power, to play their part in the "National Rising" (Nationale Erhebung) is shown by the practice of conferring honorary municipal citizenship on Hitler, and even more by naming a street (Straße), a square or place (Platz), a promenade (Anlage), an avenue (Damm or Allee), a stadium (Kampfbahn), or a bridge (Brücke) after the new chancellor. As early as March and April 1933, a wave of renamings swept through Germany's cities. There was a decree from the Reich Ministry of the Interior requiring that the most important street or central square in every city was to bear Hitler's name.[1] Most of the examples in the list come from this period.

The renaming of streets and squares was part of the personality cult surrounding Hitler and served as propaganda and a demonstration of power. In addition, many streets and squares were systematically renamed in the spirit of the regime during the Nazi era, by systematically removing names that were associated with criticism of the regime or the Weimar Republic.[2]

After 1945, all streets and squares in Germany bearing Hitler's name were renamed as part of denazification.

Yaphank, New York  United States Adolf-Hitler-Street 1930s Park Boulevard [21]
Campo Belo  Brazil Rua Adolpho Hitler 1931 Rua Almirante Barroso (1931-)
Rua Gil Eanes 		[22]

The planned community German Gardens in Yaphank, New York, was built on the former site of Camp Siegfried, which was owned and operated by the pro-Nazi German-American Bund. Until 1941, several streets were named after prominent Nazis, such as Adolf Hitler Street (renamed Park Street), Goering Street (renamed Oak Street), and Goebbels Street (renamed Northside Avenue).[21]

Before 1931, there are records of a street named Rua Adolpho Hitler in the Campo Belo district of Santo Amaro, Brazil – notably at a time when the Nazis had not yet come to power in Germany. Its name was changed in 1931 to Rua Almirante Barroso, but when Santo Amaro was merged into São Paulo the next year, the street was again renamed Rua Gil Eanes, due to a homonymous street in Brás. The street still retains Gil Eanes's name.[22]
