This is a partial list of streets and squares named after Adolf Hitler during the era of Nazi Germany.
The zeal with which German municipal authorities attempted,[ citation needed ] immediately after the seizure of power, to play their part in the "National Rising" (German : Nationale Erhebung) is shown by the practice of conferring honorary municipal citizenship on Hitler, and even more by naming a street (Straße), a square or place (Platz), a promenade (Anlage), an avenue (Damm, Allee), a stadium (Kampfbahn), or a bridge (Brücke) after the new chancellor. As early as March and April 1933, a wave of renamings swept through Germany's cities. Most of the examples in the list come from this period.

Campo Belo | Brazil | Rua Adolpho Hitler | 1931 | Rua Almirante Barroso (1931-) Rua Gil Eanes | [19] |
Before 1931, there are records of a street named Rua Adolpho Hitler in the Campo Belo district of Santo Amaro, Brazil – notably at a time when the Nazis had not yet come to power in Germany. Its name was changed in 1931 to Rua Almirante Barroso, but when Santo Amaro was merged into São Paulo the next year, the street was again renamed Rua Gil Eanes, due to a homonymous street in Brás. The street still retains Gil Eanes's name. [19]
The "Horst-Wessel-Lied", also known by its opening words "Die Fahne hoch", was the anthem of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) from 1930 to 1945. From 1933 to 1945, the Nazis made it the co-national anthem of Germany, along with the first stanza of the "Deutschlandlied".
Agnes Miegel was a German author, journalist and poet. She is best known for her poems and short stories about East Prussia, but also for the support she gave to the Nazi Party.
Theodor-Heuss-Platz is a station on line U2 of the Berlin U-Bahn, located in the Westend district.
The Brown House was the name given to the Munich mansion located between the Karolinenplatz and Königsplatz, known before as the Palais Barlow, which was purchased in 1930 for the Nazis. They converted the structure into the headquarters of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Its name comes from early Nazi Party uniforms, which were brown. Many leading Nazis, including Adolf Hitler, maintained offices there throughout the party's existence. It was destroyed by Allied bombing raids during World War II.

Lend is the 4th district of the Austrian city of Graz. It is located on the west bank of the Mur and north of the district Gries and west of the district Innere Stadt and the Schloßberg.
Geidorf is the 3rd district of the Austrian city of Graz. It is located north of the first two districts I. Innere Stadt and II. St. Leonhard. In the east it stretches as far as the Landeskrankenhaus Universitätsklinikum and towards the west it borders the river Mur. As the main campus of the University of Graz is located in Geidorf, many students and professors live here.
The Verein zur Vorbereitung der Autostraße Hansestädte–Frankfurt–Basel, commonly referred to as HaFraBa, was an organization dedicated to developing one of the first large Autobahn projects in Germany.
Mitte is the first borough of Hanover, the state capital of Lower Saxony. As of 2020, it has 36,645 inhabitants and consists of the quarters Mitte, Calenberger Neustadt, Oststadt and Zoo. The district mayor is Cornelia Kupsch (CDU).
Steindamm was the oldest quarter of Königsberg, Germany. Its territory is now part of Kaliningrad, Russia.
Aegidien Gate Square is a busy square known colloquially as Aegi in Hanover, Germany. Located above a subway station of the same name, the square was named for the Aegidien Gate, one of the city gates of medieval Hanover. While the gate was removed in 1780, the square is still named after it.
The Kaiser-Joseph-Straße in Freiburg im Breisgau is a shopping street of about 900 meters, which runs through the center of Freiburg's historic downtown from north to south. It is one of the most expensive locations in Germany.
Aegidien Church, after Saint Giles to whom the church was dedicated, is a war memorial in Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, Germany. The church dates from 1347, when it replaced an older Romanesque church dating to 1163. This in turn replaced an even earlier chapel. Aegidien Church was destroyed during the night beginning 8 October 1943 by aerial bombings of Hanover during World War II. In 1952, Aegidien Church became a war memorial dedicated to victims of war and of violence.
Friedrich Bernreuther was a German police officer. From July 1 to October 10, 1945, he was a public claimant in denazification cases for Ansbach, a Bavarian city in Germany.
Hans Klüppelberg was a German architect.
Rudolf Hillebrecht was a German architect and city planner. In 1948, against an impressive list of rival candidates, he succeeded in obtaining appointment as city planning officer for his home city of Hannover, with a mandate to rebuild a city that had suffered massive bomb damage between 1942 and 1945. He approached his task with evangelical zeal. His ideas for post-war Hanover aligned with the prevailing spirit of the "Wirtschaftswunder" years, and by 1959 it was possible to boast that Hannover was the only city in West Germany with its own network of city motorways, while Hillebrecht had probably become the only man alive in Hannover with an international reputation. Urban developments during the next twenty years repeatedly demonstrated the extent of Hillebrand's influence across and beyond western Europe. His redevelopment of Hannover was nevertheless not uncontroversial even at the time. A large number of historical buildings that had somehow survived Anglo-American bombing were now destroyed out of deference to a larger plan: some of the Hilebrecht plans involving wholesale destruction and replacement of entire districts of the city were indeed never implemented. Hillebrecht himself later conceded that the destruction, during the early 1960s, of Hannover's striking neo-Renaissance "Flusswasserkunst" had been a mistake.
Albert Reich, was a German painter, graphic designer, draftsman and illustrator. During the First World War, he was attached as a war painter to the Alpenkorps. After the war, he joined the Nazi Party and contributed to its propaganda with paintings.
