You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Berlin Theodor-Heuss-Platz.jpg|thumb|330px|Theodor-Heuss-Platz with Blue Obelisk]]

'''Theodor-Heuss-Platz''' (((IPA-de|ˈteːodoːɐ̯ ˈhɔʏsˌplats|-|De-Theodor-Heuss-Platz.ogg)); colloquially called '''Theo''' by locals, ((IPA-de|ˈteːo|pron|De-Theo.ogg))) is a large city square in the [[Westend (Berlin)|Westend]] district of [[Berlin]], Germany. It is named after [[Theodor Heuss]] (1884–1963), the first [[President of Germany]] after [[World War II]].

==Location==
The square is located at the western end of the wide [[Kaiserdamm]] boulevard, leading via Bismarckstraße, [[Straße des 17. Juni]] with the [[Berlin Victory Column]] and [[Brandenburg Gate]] in a direct line to [[Pariser Platz]], [[Unter den Linden]] and the site of the [[City Palace, Berlin|City Palace]] in Berlin-[[Mitte (locality)|Mitte]]. The axis is continued to the west by the [[Heerstraße (Berlin)|Heerstraße]] up to Scholzplatz and further towards [[Spandau]] and the Berlin city limits. Underneath the square is the [[Berlin U-Bahn|U-Bahn]] station [[Theodor-Heuss-Platz (Berlin U-Bahn)|Theodor-Heuss-Platz]].

==History==
[[File:Reichskanzlerplatz Berlin 1907.jpg|thumb|left|''Reichskanzlerplatz'' with U-Bahn entrances, 1907]]
The square was laid out as part of the development of the new Westend district between 1904 and 1908 and then named ''Reichskanzlerplatz'' after the office of the [[Chancellor of Germany|Imperial Chancellor]]. When the eponymous U-Bahn station was inaugurated by Emperor [[Wilhelm II, German Emperor|Wilhelm II]] on 29 March 1908, the square was still without any houses.

After the [[Nazi seizure of power]], the square was renamed ''Adolf-Hitler-Platz'' on 21 April 1933. According to the ''[[Welthauptstadt Germania]]'' plans by [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] and his architect [[Albert Speer]], it was to have an important role at the western end of the monumental east–west axis, including a vast heroes' memorial. It was also planned to rename the square after [[Benito Mussolini]]. After World War II, its name officially returned to ''Reichskanzlerplatz'' on 31 July 1947. Only six days after the death of President Theodor Heuss on 18 December 1963, the square was given its present name.

In 2014, Google apologized after labeling Theodor-Heuss-Platz as ''Adolf-Hitler-Platz'' on its [[Google Maps]] service.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-apologizes-for-hitler-name-on-maps/| title=Google apologizes for "Hitler" name on maps|publisher=CBS News|date=10 January 2014|accessdate=11 January 2014))</ref>

==Buildings==
[[File:IWM BER 49-148-002 - NAAFI Club Berlin.jpg|thumb|NAAFI Club, Amerikahaus]]
At the south of the square is the former Edinburgh House, the Deutschlandhaus and the Amerikahaus (clockwise). The Edinburgh House, was erected from 1960 to 1962 as a [[British Forces Germany|British Forces]] guest house and officers' hotel. It is today run as a boarding house by the Berlin [[Studentenwerk]]. The adjacent Deutschlandhaus and Amerikahaus were built from 1928 to 1930, including a hotel, a coffee house and a cinema. Since 1937 the studios of [[Fernsehsender Paul Nipkow|TV Station Paul Nipkow]] were located in the Deutschlandhaus. The Amerikahaus at the corner of Heerstraße was known as the Summit House, Jerboa Cinema and [[Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes|NAAFI]] centre after the war until the British Forces left Berlin in 1994. Today it is used as the cabaret theatre ''Die Wühlmäuse''.((fact|date=November 2022))

In 1970, on the eastern edge of the square located 18-story high TV centre of the former [[Sender Freies Berlin]] (SFB) broadcaster was finished. After the merger with the [[Ostdeutscher Rundfunk Brandenburg|ORB]] on 1 May 2003 it became the Berlin home of the now created [[Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg]] (RBB). Close by in Masurenallee is the historic [[Haus des Rundfunks]], finished 1930, which was seat of the [[Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft]] and the East German [[Berliner Rundfunk]] before the founding of the SFB. It is located straight across the [[Messegelände (Berlin)|exhibition ground]] and the [[Funkturm Berlin|Funkturm]].((fact|date=November 2022))

==Memorials and art==
[[File:Berlin Theodor-Heuss-Platz lub 2023-05-01 img05 Ewige Flamme.jpg|thumb|Eternal Flame]]
In 1955 an [[eternal flame]] monument was erected by compatriot groups organised in the [[Federation of Expellees]] to commemorate the [[Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–50)]] during and after World War II. The flame was extinguished in the day of [[German reunification]] on 3 October 1990, but again lit three months later on [[Human Rights Day]] 10 December.

In 1989 the sculpture duo Two Heads was erected at the eastern edge of the square. The Blue [[Obelisk]] was placed opposite the eternal flame monument in 1995.((fact|date=November 2022))

==Notable residents==
*[[Richard Strauss]] (1864–1949), composer, lived in Heerstraße 2 at the corner of ''Reichskanzlerplatz'' from 1913 to 1917 
*[[Magda Goebbels|Magda Quandt]] (1901–1945) lived in ''Reichskanzlerplatz'' 3 after her divorce in 1929, where she received Hitler and her future husband [[Joseph Goebbels]]

==In popular culture==
The novel ''[[In the Presence of Mine Enemies]]'' by [[Harry Turtledove]] has several crucial scenes set in Adolf Hitler Platz, in an [[alternate history]] where the Third ''Reich'' rules much of the world at the dawn of the 21st century.
