Gustav-Adolf-Straße/Langhansstraße

Weißensee

Named after two streets honouring two founders of Neu-Weißensee.

Gustav-Adolf-Straße bears the first names of Gustav Adolf Schön (1834–1889), a Hamburg merchant regarded as one of the founders of Neu-Weißensee: in 1872 he bought the Weißensee estate and had it divided into plots. Langhansstraße honours Johann Eduard Langhans (1835–around 1906), a merchant and co-founder of the new suburb of Neu-Weißensee.
