In the context of the construction of Plan-Zuid, the Amsterdam city council decided on March 22, 1923, to call this avenue the Zuider Amstellaan.[1] Hanneli Goslar and Hello Silberberg, among others, lived on the Zuider Amstellaan.

On May 8, 1946, the name was changed to Rooseveltlaan, after American president F.D. Roosevelt.

Four Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) commemorate the stay of the Goslar family at this address.[2]
