history
After the film producer Bernd Eichinger succumbed to a heart attack in January 2011, his widow Katja Eichinger suggested that the city of Munich name a place after him in memory of Eichinger's services to Munich as a film location and his life's work. The green space in front of the University of Television and Film, where Eichinger himself studied, was chosen as the appropriate location. The Bavarian Finance Minister Markus Söder agreed to a corresponding proposal. The university also welcomed the idea. With the decision of the Munich City Council on April 19, 2012, the naming became official.
On May 7, 2012, the street sign was ceremoniously unveiled by Mayor Ude in the presence of Eichinger's widow Katja and daughter Nina .
