The Scheidemannstraße is after the Social Democratic politician Philipp Scheidemann named street in the Berlin district of Tiergarten of the district center .
The reason for the naming is the proclamation of the first German republic by Scheidemann on a window of the Reichstag building on November 9, 1918; this place is very close to the road.
Scheidemannstrasse runs in an east-west direction. At the eastern end of the street is Friedrich-Ebert-Platz, where Ebertstrasse from the south and Dorotheenstrasse from the east converge. In the west, the street first crosses Heinrich-von-Gagern-Straße - Yitzhak-Rabin-Straße and then today becomes John-Foster-Dulles-Allee. The Reichstag building and the Republic Square are on the north side of the street . On the other side is the Great Tiergarten with the memorial to the Sinti and Roma of Europe murdered under National Socialism . After construction work began on the previous location, the White Crosses memorial was relocated to the corner of Scheidemann and Ebertstrasse.
The street has been named after Philipp Scheidemann since October 24, 1965. Before that, it was called Simsonstrasse from 1895 to 1938 after the first President of the Reichstag Eduard von Simson and from 1938 to 1965 Sommerstrasse after the local politician Carl August Heinrich Sommer .
