Named after the bus depot on Indira-Gandhi-Straße.
The listed BVG bus depot dates from the late 1950s to 1966. The street was long the Lichtenberger Straße. Indira Gandhi, India’s prime minister, visited East Berlin in 1983; after her assassination in 1984, the GDR renamed the street after her in 1985, with India’s vice-president attending the ceremony.
