As one of the few streets in Magdeburg's inner city, Leiterstrasse remained largely undamaged during World War II. Nevertheless, in the 1970s and 1980s, the old building was demolished and by a 1977 newly built until 1989 pedestrian zone with DDR - prefabricated replaced.

In 2003, at the insistence of the CDU parliamentary group, there were plans to name the square in the eastern part of Leiterstrasse after Charles de Gaulle . However, the proposal met with strong criticism and was not implemented. Later it was named after de Gaulle elsewhere.
