Overview
- The square in front of the Zentral‑ und Landesbibliothek was officially given the name Eva‑Mamlok‑Platz and a memorial to Eva Mamlok was unveiled at the site.
- Bezirksbürgermeisterin Clara Herrmann said the renaming honors Mamlok and makes Jewish and female resistance in Kreuzberg more visible in public memory.
- Eva Mamlok was a Kreuzberg resistance fighter who was deported, forced into labor and murdered in the Stutthof concentration camp on 23 December 1944.
- The municipal decision to rename the square follows a June 2025 vote by the Bezirksverordnetenversammlung and the administration has begun updating signage and addresses for three affected buildings, including the Amerika‑Gedenkbibliothek.
- Local officials framed the move as part of a wider effort to move away from francophobic and militaristic street‑naming and to align public places with antinationalist and antifascist values.
