A group of Swiss citizens is demanding that an iconic city square has
its name switched from that of a rabid antisemite to a woman who
risked her life saving Jews.
Opened in 2005, Raiffeisenplatz in St Gallen was named after the
19th-century Raiffeisen co-operative movement in Germany.
The square is renowned for its unusual red carpet of rubber granulate,
which gives pedestrians a slight bouncy feeling when strolling across
it to get to the Raiffeisen bank or the St Gallen Synagogue.
Raiffeisenplatz may be bright and cheery but Raiffeisen Bank, the
second largest in the country, has a dark side, as it descends from
the movement founded by firebrand Jew hater Friedrich Wilhelm
Raiffeisen.
Local historian Hans Fässler said Raiffeisen was “such a pronounced antisemite” that the Nazis celebrated him as one of their own on the
50th anniversary of his 1888 death.
For two years a committee has pleaded with the city authorities and
the Raiffeisen bank to change the name of the square to Recha-Sternbuch-Platz, after a heroic woman who helped Jewish refugees
escape the Nazis during the Second World War.
Paul Rechsteiner, president of St Gallen’s Paul Grüninger Foundation, named after a Swiss police commander who also helped Jewish refugees
escape Nazi persecution, told the JC: “Naming public institutions or
places is not an innocent act. Whoever is responsible, takes a stand.
The ‘Red Square’ is not only known locally, but also nationally.
“It is all the more incomprehensible that this prominent urban square
is still officially called Raiffeisenplatz, even though Raiffeisen was
a notorious antisemite.

Why have the jews chosen this man to dishonor? From all accounts, he
was a good and decent man. Most people throughout history have hated
towards the hebes; I have posted many quotes of famous people
expressing their thoughts about the jews.
Old "Loose" may like to wear a dress, but he's still the same old Nazi nutjob. ROFL!
