Berlin Honors Jewish Patrons with Renaming of Piazzetta

The newly named Johanna and Eduard Arnhold Platz commemorates the couple's cultural contributions and the Jewish community of the Tiergartenviertel.

The Piazzetta in front of Berlin's Kulturforum museums has been renamed Johanna and Eduard Arnhold Platz.
The Arnholds were influential art patrons who contributed significantly to cultural institutions, including the Villa Massimo in Rome.
This renaming initiative was led by a dedicated association aiming to honor the Arnholds and other Jewish residents displaced by the Nazis.
The Arnhold's former villa housed one of Germany's most valuable private modern art collections before its destruction in WWII.
The renaming ceremony included cultural figures and highlighted the importance of remembering Berlin's Jewish heritage.
