Bayern Munich Stadium Street to be Renamed in Honour of 'Der Kaiser' Franz Beckenbauer

News 18  

A street next to Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena stadium will be renamed to honour German football great Franz Beckenbauer who died earlier this year, the city council announced Thursday. Part of the street, currently called Werner Heisenberg Allee, which runs alongside the stadium in the north of the city will be renamed Franz Beckenbauer Platz. The change means the stadium, which is set to host the Champions League final in May 2025, will officially be situated at Franz Beckenbauer Platz 5 — the midfielder’s shirt number. “Naming a street is the highest honour that the city of Munich can bestow posthumously and a sign of the deep respect and appreciation that we have for Franz Beckenbauer,” mayor Dieter Reiter said in a statement.
