This street was named after the German physicist Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787–1826) by resolution of the city council on September 1, 2005 .

Since the street is located in an area that is primarily used for scientific purposes, this suggestion was felt to be appropriate. At the same time, the achievement of the Fraunhofer Institutes for Magdeburg should be recognized. The full name Fraunhofer was used to avoid confusion with the existing Fraunhoferplatz . The double appreciation of Fraunhofer also met with criticism from the public. An attempt to name the street had already been made in 2004. After a lengthy discussion, the Lord Mayor Lutz Trümper then withdrew the printed matter in the city council meeting.
