Südtiroler Platz is a place name that is used several times in Austria and Bavaria, reminding of South Tyrol .
Since Italy , which actually had a defensive alliance with the German Empire and Austria-Hungary , was assured in the secret London Treaty of 1915 that part of Tyrol south of the Brenner would enter the war on the side of the Entente , an armistice of Villa Giusti ) not only the Italian part of southern Tyrol, the Trentino , but also German South Tyrol occupied by Italy. The Treaty of Saint-Germain , perceived as a dictate in Austria and Germany, confirmed this in 1919 against the will of the German South Tyroleans. As a sign of solidarity, places in Austria and Germany were named after South Tyrol, but also streets or entire settlements after South Tyrolean locations.
