The Museum Pankow is set to host a special exhibition titled "Rename?! - Street Names and Their History in Pankow" from September 26, 2025, to February 15, 2026. This exhibition aims to delve into the diverse backgrounds of street names and invite visitors to submit their own suggestions, fostering a more informed and historically contextualized discussion about street names in the Pankow district.
The exhibition will explore how political systems of the 20th century have left their mark on the cityscape, with a focus on aspects of colonial history from the 19th century and ideological name changes during the Nazi era. It will also address the debate surrounding street renamings, particularly the recent example of Mohrenstraße in Mitte.
Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the various stories and changes surrounding street names between the Malchow suburban settlement, Weißensee, and Prenzlauer Berg. The exhibition will illustrate how street names mirror historical developments in Berlin, providing a unique insight into the city's past.
The project is a collaboration between the Aktives Museum Faschismus und Widerstand in Berlin e.V. and the Arbeitskreis Berliner Regionalmuseen. It is funded by the Lotto-Stiftung Berlin and forms part of a two-year series by Berlin's regional museums, focusing on local aspects of street name history.
The Museum Pankow is located at Prenzlauer Allee 227/228, Room 108, in the Pankow district. The exhibition can be visited from September 26, 2025, to February 15, 2026, Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 am to 6 pm, closed on public holidays. Admission to the Museum Pankow is free.
In addition to the special exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to submit name suggestions for a new quarter at Pankow Gate, adding a participatory element to the event.
