A street name is rarely neutral. It commemorates, honours, obscures\u2014and sometimes does all of these things at once.

We walk through streets every day without asking ourselves whose names we are actually speaking. Who was this person? Why were they honoured\u2014and by whom? And why is their name still there today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curator Tabea Thielmann guides visitors through the special exhibition Renaming?! Berlin\u2019s Street Names and Their History<\/em>, offering a look beneath the surface at the political decisions, citizen initiatives, lengthy debates, and surprisingly swift resolutions that shape how streets are named\u2014or renamed. With a particular focus on Berlin-Mitte, the tour reveals how East and West, continuity and rupture, remain inscribed in the city\u2019s geography to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour is part of the public programme accompanying the exhibition, which is on view at the Mitte Museum until 27 September 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
