St.Gallen's Raiffeisen Square to be renamed A committee has called for the name of Raiffeisen Square to be changed to "Recha-Sternbuch-Platz". The founder of the Raiffeisen movement had been anti-Semitic. A striking feature is the "city lounge" with its surface of red rubber granulate, designed by the artist Pipilotti Rist and the architect Carlos Martinez. Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen had been celebrated by Nazis on the 50th anniversary of his death. Not only bank buildings stand on the "Red Square", but also the St. Gallen Synagogue. The signatories of the letter include former St. Gallen Councillor of States Paul Rechsteiner, historians Hans Fässler and Stefan Keller, and Pipilotti Rist. It is now time to rename the square, they said in St. Gallen on Thursday, 25 May 2023.
