“The city is full of streets and squares named after Beethoven (five of them), Bach (four), Wagner, Schubert, Schönberg, Schiller, Lessing, Schopenhauer, Fichte, Hegel. … And Berlin also uses street names as atonement for the crimes of history: hence Jesse-Owens-Allee, Hannah-Arendt-Strasse, Ben-Gurion-Strasse and a platz named after the great critic Walter Benjamin.”
