Berlin to Rename Hofjägerallee as Helmut-Kohl-Allee on May 9, 2026

An official notice fixes a Europe Day start date for the change.

Overview

  • The decision was published in the Mitte district gazette, triggering formal notice and a one-month period for objections.
  • New street signs will be installed during the workweek before the effective date, with the old name crossed out for six months to aid orientation.
  • The avenue has no residents, so private address changes are unnecessary and costs are largely limited to updating maps and navigation services.
  • The chosen date aligns with Europe Day and is noted for its broader historical resonance.
  • The route runs from the Victory Column through the Tiergarten toward the CDU federal office, giving the naming prominent visibility in central Berlin.
