Hanover and Ruestingen yesterday followed the lead of other German cities which have been changing the names of stroots that have for years borne the names of famous Jews.

In Hanover, the street named in honor of the philosopher Benedict Spinoza became Nietzschestrasse, while in Ruestingon Heinostrasse, named after the poet Heinrich Hoine, became Ruselerstrasse.
