Named after two streets that cross here: Greifswalder Straße and Danziger Straße.
Greifswalder Straße, named in 1868 after the Hanseatic city of Greifswald, was called Bernauische Landstraße from the 16th century until around 1803. Danziger Straße recalls Danzig, Gdańsk in Poland since 1945. From 1950 to 1995 it was called Dimitroffstraße.
