Named after Blaschkoallee, which honours the physician Alfred Blaschko.
Alfred Blaschko (1858–1922) was a dermatologist who devoted himself mainly to fighting venereal diseases; the ‘Blaschko lines’ of the skin are named after him. He was denied a professorship because of his Jewish origin and his socialist commitment. The avenue was named after him in 1932; under the Nazis it was called Böwedamm from 1934 to 1947.
