Mannheim: Neighborhood looking for Turkish name

Mannheim: Neighborhood looking for Turkish name

Via Sabah (h/t PI)

A Turkish-majority quarter in Mannheim is looking for a new Turkish name. Community members and representatives of Turkish associations are working together to find a name for the quarter.

Dr. Peter Kurz, mayor of Mannheim, suggested 'Little Istanbul' (in English). Other names suggested at the meeting were "Beyoglu" (district in Istanbul) and "“Kücük Istanbul" (In Turkish: Little Istanbul). The group decided to narrow the list to three names and conduct a vote.
