Austria to change two streets named after Nazi supporters
Published: 7/3/2025

Austria is changing two streets named after Nazi supporters in Adolf Hitler's hometown, Braunau am Inn. The decision to rename the streets follows longstanding complaints and a report that found keeping the names was unconstitutional. The move has been welcomed by the Mauthausen Committee, which pushed for the change to honor Austrians who actively opposed the Nazis. The renaming reflects ongoing efforts to confront Austria's Nazi past and remember the millions who perished during World War Two.
