On March 11, permanent street markers were installed in the Scheunenviertel (Barn Quarter) to mark the approximately 50 years when Yiddish was the main language there.

At the end of the 19th century, many Eastern European Jews, planning to emigrate to North America, got stuck in Berlin, trying to collect enough money or get papers for their ship journey. As a result, the area, and especially the Grenadierstrafe, became a bustling Jewish street, with many informal prayer spaces, kosher butchers and bakeries and Jewish bookstores.

The new street name signs appear in Yiddish script with explanations and QR codes. The project was initiated by the artist Sebestyén Fiumei.
