Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Hamburg's most famous Elbe promenade between the Landungsbrücken and Baumall is still nameless, but the 800 meters could soon be named after the Hamburg veteran Jan Fedder.
The popular actor's widow had made the proposal and both the Senator for Culture Carsten Brosda and the Senator for Interior Andy Grote (both SPD) support this idea, as the authorities announced in Hamburg on Friday.
As a result, the boulevard could soon be called Jan-Fedder-Promenade - if the Senate approves.
Jan Fedder himself would be overjoyed, said his widow Marion Fedder according to the announcement.
“No other place in Hamburg is so representative of Jan's life. Here was his parents' pub, where he grew up, he grew up on the edge of the harbor, shot here, and it was his favorite place to the end.”
The official route is clearly specified: The proposal for the naming of streets and squares must be introduced to the district assembly and submitted to the State Archives for review.
The Senate Commission for the Designation of Traffic Areas finally decides on the designation.
The promenade will not be given a name before the end of the year.
Because: Appointments after the deceased should generally be made two years after their death at the earliest, the authorities continue.

As a police officer Dirk Matthies, Jan Fedder had ensured law and order in the Hamburg neighborhood for decades in the ARD early evening series "Großstadtrevier".
He had died on December 30, 2019 at the age of 64.
Since the beginning of September a Michel plaque has been commemorating him on the church square of the Sankt Michaelis Church.
Most recently, Jan Fedder's name was proposed 16 times by citizens for the designation of new schools.
