A Place for Eva Mamlok: Renaming Blücherplatz in Kreuzberg
Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg is getting an Eva Mamlok Square. Blücherplatz will be officially renamed. The Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg District Assembly approved the renaming in June 2025 to honor Eva Mamlok and her anti-fascist resistance alongside a network of Jewish women, and to bring women in history to the forefront.
The event will feature presentations by the District Office, the ZLB, the Eva Mamlok Square Initiative (UpStadt e.V. / GLOX), and the Research Initiative on the Eva Mamlok Group, moderated by Nora Hogrefe (Director of the Coordination Office for Historical City Markers at the Aktives Museum).
Eva Mamlok (1918–1944) was a resistance fighter against National Socialism in Kreuzberg. She was already active against Nazi fascism as a teenager. According to an eyewitness, the nearly 14-year-old Eva Mamlok wrote “Down with Hitler!” in white paint on the roof of the Tietz department store at Hallesches Tor. She was briefly detained as a result. In 1934, when she and others laid flowers on the graves of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, she was arrested and imprisoned for five months at the Moringen women’s concentration camp (Lower Saxony).
Starting in 1940, as a Jew, she was forced to perform hard labor in a factory in Kreuzberg. Nevertheless, she remained active alongside other Jewish anti-fascist women, for example by distributing leaflets and lending out books by banned authors. When the network was exposed in 1941, she was arrested, convicted, and deported to the Riga ghetto in 1942. Even there, she remained defiant despite the extremely harsh living conditions. She was involved in organizing a camera for local resistance groups to document Nazi crimes. In 1944, Eva Mamlok was taken to the Stutthof concentration and extermination camp. She died there at the age of only 26.Translated with DeepL
