Township Road 5 East is also named Hessen Strasse.  (Just north of Paradise Lake.)  "Strasse," in case you're wondering, is "Road" in German.  And so far as I can tell, it is the only "Strasse" in Waterloo Region.  When Berlin's name was changed to Kitchener, street names were left alone so I find it amusing the pro-Kitchener zealots missed this one.  

At the Concordia Club on Ottawa St. there is a painting on the wall that shows the club's original address as "König Straße."
