Debate about renaming Langbehnstrasse

In 2013, the city council of Fürstenfeldbruck decided to examine possible renaming of polluted street names in the city area. An independent working group was set up specifically for this purpose. Pucher Langbehnstrasse also fell into the list of contaminated street names. In the 1960s it was dedicated to the anti-Semitic writer Julius Langbehn , who was buried in Puch . In 2015, the working group and the culture and works committee of the city council each voted unanimously to rededicate Langbehnstrasse. Numerous residents of the street protested against this decision, at a Pucher citizens' meeting in 2016, the majority of those present defended Langbehn's person and work to representatives of the city council and expressed their displeasure.

In 2018, the city council finally decided against renaming it and voted to put an explanatory information board in the street.
