Street name

Karl-Peters-Straße

Schwachhausen

Carl Peters is considered one of the most brutal figures in German colonial history. His excesses of violence in German East Africa caused scandals even in his own time. That a Bremen street still bears his name is the subject of ongoing criticism and debates over renaming.
