Karl-Ludwig-Schleich-Weg

More recently, Gerhard Stoffert attracted media interest when he advocated a corrective renaming of Karl-Ludwig-Schleich-Strasse , which was laid out in Groß-Buchholz in 1959 and which Stoffert himself lives in: the namesake and medicin Carl Ludwig Schleich, who is honored with the street name is actually written with C instead of K as on the street sign. Three times turned Stoffert vain to the city a request for a name change for the correct spelling of the physician. The city's rejection is based on the high cost of renaming. In addition, city spokesman Alexis Demos explained: "The spelling of the first name was based on the valid rules of spelling when naming streets", at the end of the 1950s a Karl was always written with a "K", even if the namesake still signed with a "C" during his lifetime have.

After all, the state capital Hanover approved the professor emeritus to put a legend on the street sign at his own expense of around 130 euros with the inscription

"Carl Ludwig Schleich (1859–1922), professor, surgeon and writer, inventor of infiltration anesthesia (local anesthesia), which replaced chloroform anesthesia."
