Grave of Bruno Fritsch in Berlin-Kreuzberg

In 1909, Fritschstrasse in Steglitz (a district of Berlin since 1920) was named after him. This was renamed Fritschweg in 1935. The establishment of the settlement on the street that bears his name is thanks to him. These residential buildings are considered a prime example of civil servant living.
