Siegfriedstraße/Josef-Orlopp-Straße

Lichtenberg

Named after Siegfriedstraße, after the hero of the Nibelungen saga, and Josef-Orlopp-Straße.

Siegfriedstraße (1896) honours Siegfried; many streets nearby are named after figures from the Nibelungen saga. Josef Orlopp (1888–1960) was a trade unionist who became deputy mayor of Berlin in 1946 and later a GDR official. In 1960 the former Rittergutstraße was named after him, as was the ball-bearing factory on it.
