Schlageterplatz

Schlageterplatz, named after an NS activist, was renamed with each new political era (Amalienplatz 1898-22, Rathenauplatz 1922-33, Schlageterplatz 1933-45, Rathenauplatz 1945 – present)

  • 1942, November 19, Thursday morning – Afternoon – At lunchtime today to Schlageterplatz again, this time for a haircut at the Seliksohns’. I was welcomed with the greatest warmth. The Seliksohns clutch at us. Inmates of the house likewise clutched at us the day before yesterday. Fraulein Imbach came upstairs in the afternoon; she was feeling so lonely; over supper and afterward till eleven o’clock Frau Eger sat up here shivering. We had to assure her again and again that we believed in her husband’s return. And yet we are firmly convinced that he, too, will meet his end “attempting to escape.” **p167
