Platz der Freiheit (München)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The square at the intersection of Landshuter Allee / Leonrodstraße in the Neuhausen-Nymphenburg city district of Munich was named after Reich President Paul von Hindenburg in 1927.[1]
In 1946, the city council followed Control Council Directive No. 30 and renamed the square Platz der Freiheit (Freedom Square). In 1962, a memorial stone made of granite was erected on the Square of the Victims of National Socialism on Brienner Straße, designed by stonemason Karl Oppenrieder. In 1985, this stone with the inscription To the victims of resistance against National Socialism was moved to the northern edge of Freedom Square. For decades, the Freedom Square remained largely unnoticed as a place of remembrance and became increasingly neglected.[2]
