The Museum Köpenick is offering guided tours through the current special exhibition "rename?! Street Names in Treptow and Köpenick".
The exhibition explores the history of street naming in Treptow and Köpenick from the imperial era to the present day. It highlights key phases of naming, as well as political and social transformations, and shows how this legacy continues to shape public space today. Of approximately 1,300 streets in Treptow–Köpenick, around 430 are dedicated to individuals, among these are 48 street names that were assigned during the Nazi era. In total, only around 9 per cent of all streets are named after women. As street names are always a form of municipal honour in public space, the exhibition focuses in particular on these streets named after individuals.
