Named after Halemweg, which honours the resistance fighter Nikolaus Christoph von Halem.
Nikolaus Christoph von Halem (1905–1944), a lawyer and businessman, opposed the Nazi regime and offered money to find someone to kill Hitler. Arrested in 1942, he was sentenced to death by the People’s Court and executed in Brandenburg an der Havel in October 1944. The street, named in 1957, lies near the Plötzensee execution site.
