 Since the end of Nazism, an annual wreath-laying ceremony on the second Sunday in September, the "Day of the Victims of Fascism", is held at Kraemer's grave in Siegen.Already in 1946, the KPD called for the renaming of several streets to designate a Siegen road to Walter Kraemer, but the appeals were ignored.After 1947 a Council majority wished to name a Siegener road after the Nazi Mayor Alfred Fissmer but the British military government forbade it.
