Berlin to Acquire a Helmut-Kohl-Street
In a significant move, a street in Berlin's Mitte district, currently known as Hofjägerallee, is set to be renamed in honour of former Chancellor Helmut Kohl. The announcement was made by Berlin's CDU state chairman and current mayor, Kai Wegner, at a state party conference last year.
Helmut Kohl, globally recognised as the "Chancellor of Unity," served as Chancellor of Germany from 1982 to 1998, a period that saw the historic reunification of Germany. The renamed street, which is yet to be officially named Helmut Kohl Allee, will lead through the Tiergarten to the Victory Column, and will be near the CDU's federal headquarters.
The renaming of the street, scheduled to take place 35 years after German reunification, is intended to honour Kohl's significant contribution to the country's history. The exact location of the renamed street within the Tiergarten area has not been specified.
However, it is important to note that Kohl's legacy is not without controversy. He is also associated with the CDU's donation scandal. Despite this, the Senate proposal for the renaming will be submitted at the end of September, marking a decision that has been agreed upon by Berlin's CDU and SPD in their 2023 coalition contract.
Kohl, who was born in 1930 and passed away in 2017, is globally recognised as a key figure in the unification of Germany. The renaming of the street is a testament to his enduring influence and the impact he had on the country's history. The exact name of the new street and the exact date of the renaming ceremony are yet to be announced.
