They suggested old field names and village terms for naming. The Rettelbuschweg should then be called "Zum Sommerfeld". This is an old hallway name for the surrounding area. The CDU parliamentary group introduced a corresponding amendment to the city council. To justify it, it was said that naming after people was rather unusual in the area and there was no connection to Ottersleben. The amendment found a majority in the Local and Legal Committee. In the city council, however, the application was rejected, so that the street was named after Adolf Rettelbusch.
