rename?! Street names in Treptow and Köpenick
The exhibition Rename?! Street names in Treptow and Köpenick is dedicated to the history of street names in Treptow and Köpenick from the imperial era to the present day. It sheds light on the most important naming phases, political and social upheavals and shows how the legacy of the past still shapes public space today. Of the approximately 1,300 streets in today's Treptow-Köpenick district, around 430 are dedicated to historical figures, including 48 street names that were given during the National Socialist era. Overall, only around 9 percent of all street names commemorate women.
As street names represent high honors in the public sphere, the exhibition focuses in particular on personal names. However, a look at street names also shows that sometimes even seemingly inconspicuous place names conceal complex contexts of the district's history.Translated with DeepL
