Berln Berlin’s Mohrenstrasse, Mouennova Street, is called a racist by its name, named after Anton Wilhelm Amo. According to the local branch of the Social Democracy SPD, the council of the town of Mitte, where the street lies, agreed that. Amo was one of the first philosophers and connoisseurs of the first in Germany to be of African descent.

In addition to organizations fighting racism, the name of Amoova Street was supported by both the Social Democrat and Zelen. The current name of the street was given in the 18th century. According to some deposits after blacks and blacks who lived here, he gave the name of the name directly associated with the enslaved Africans who had to serve in Berlin and Brandenburg. The standard German vocabulary, the Duden dictionary, describes the term Mohr (mouenn) as obsolete and discriminated against.
The Social Democrat from Berlin, Mitte, decided on a new street name on Twitter as a great rush and a milestone. But not everyone is satisfied with the choice. The Berliner Zeitung wrote that the city has abandoned its democratic principles, or that citizens will not co-decide, but will only be informed about the result.
In particular, the Czech Embassy on the corner of Mohrenstrasse and Wilhelmstrasse Boulevard will also touch the wall. In the recommendation on how to get to the embassy, the Czech port office recommends taking the Mohrenstrasse metro station, which leads to the street of the same name. Even this guarantee is renamed.

Although the problematic name of the station has been discussed in Berlin for years, the debates were now sparked by the May death of the American black man George Floyd, who had an anti-racist demonstration in the USA and subsequently around the world. The activist even renamed Florenova Mohrenstrasse station during one of the protests. Challenges to change the name are then painted across the street.
As a suitable proposal, the Berlin transport company BVG originally chose the name Glinkastrasse along the nearby street. It was named after the Russian composer of the 19th century, Mikhail Glink. However, the BVG withdrew from this possibility, or it turned out that Glinka was associated with anti-Semitic views.
A talk from Jannes Schwent told TK that the new name of the station, which BVG and the public are looking at, must be clear and have a clear connection with the city, or the metro station serves as a reference point.
