Kolmar Park, 4143 N. Kolmar Ave., is named for the street on which it sits. Kolmar Avenue got its name from a town on the border of France and Germany, according to the Chicago Park District website. Kolmar was the name of two towns in Germany, but after World War I in 1919 changed the borders, the towns separated and now have different names.
Late last year, neighbors began a campaign to rename the park for poet Gertrud Kolmar, who was born in Berlin in 1894 and died in the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1943.
