Berlin District Parliament to Vote on Naming Square After Harald Juhnke
The proposal, backed by a cross-party coalition, aims to honor the entertainer on the 20th anniversary of his death.
- The Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district parliament is set to discuss and vote on the proposal on Thursday, March 20, 2025.
- The square at the intersection of Kurfürstendamm, Uhlandstraße, and Grolmanstraße is the proposed location for the tribute.
- Harald Juhnke, a Berlin native, had a five-decade career in theater and television and is considered one of Germany's greatest entertainers.
- The proposal is supported by CDU, Greens, SPD, and FDP, aiming to commemorate Juhnke's legacy near the Ku'damm stages where he often performed.
- A similar 2022 initiative to rename Joachimsthaler Platz after Juhnke failed to gain majority support.
