The left-wing activist and student leader Rudi Dutschke was murdered in 1968. In his song "Drei Kugeln auf Rudi Dutschke", Wolf Biermann sang 'Die Kugel Nummer eins kam aus Springers Zeitungswald, Ihr habt dem Mann die Groschen auch noch dafür bezahlt'. Now the Kochstrasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg, near to the edifice of the Springer-Verlag, is being re-named Rudi-Dutschke-Strasse. The Berliner Zeitung gleefully reports that Rudi-Dutschke-Strasse will intersect with Axel-Springer-Strasse and traffic on Dutschke-Strasse will have priority.
