The zeal with which German municipal authorities attempted,[citation needed] immediately after the seizure of power, to play their part in the “National Rising” (German: Nationale Erhebung) is shown by the practice of conferring honorary municipal citizenship on Hitler, and even more by naming a street (Straße), a square or place (Platz), a promenade (Anlage), an avenue (Damm, Allee), a stadium (Kampfbahn), or a bridge (Brücke) after the new chancellor. As early as March and April 1933, a wave of renamings swept through Germany’s cities. Most of the examples in the list come from this period.
