The matter of the graphics was also discussed, as the green proposal includes the current name of Gernika (using the Basque version), and the street would therefore be Gernikastrasse, rather than the earlier versions, that are no longer official, which are reflected in the title of Pablo Picasso's famous painting.

It should be noted that the capital of Saxony, which today is home to over half a million inhabitants, affected by a terrible and devastating bombing by the allies during World War II.

The German capital, Berlin, has a square dedicated to Gernika, the Guernica-Platz (sic), and Gernika is also the name of the city's euskal etxea, the centre used by German Basque speakers and who are aware of the key role that the Luftwaffe and its Condor Legion played in the destruction of the Basque charter city.
