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" (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 or Allee), a stadium (Kampfbahn), or a bridge (Brücke) after the new chancellor.
There was a decree from the Reich Ministry of the Interior requiring that the most important street or central square in every city was to bear Hitler's name.
The renaming of streets and squares was part of the personality cult surrounding Hitler and served as propaganda and a demonstration of power.
[21] 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.
