This week, it's been 78 years since WW II ended, and the local city government came out with a list of fifty-odd street and place names....that are connected to the 1930s and the Nazi Party. So....the mayor and city council say....the names have to go away.
In my village? We had one street and one building....connected to one single guy from that era.
In the city of Wiesbaden....the biggest note? Opelbad, the 5-star public pool on the hill overlooking the city. It was a big part of local Nazi creation in the late 1930s.
What new names will come up? Unknown.....but I would assume this would be a long process, and probably consume at least two years of discussions.
The pool? If you identified five of the biggest functions in the city.....this is one, and I would imagine at least 300 nominations for the new name.
Having taken a long time? Yeah, you could probably drag up this topic....that this should have occurred in the 1970s/1980s.
