Named after Adam Kuckhoff (1887–1943), writer and resistance fighter.
Adam Kuckhoff and his wife Greta belonged to the resistance circles around Arvid and Mildred Harnack and Harro Schulze-Boysen. Arrested in 1942, he was sentenced to death and executed in Plötzensee on 5 August 1943. The street, called Blücherstraße from 1899, was renamed after him in 1951.
