Bellingcat Challenge #11 “Name that street!”

There are plenty of areas to walk in cities around the world, and this street is one of them.

But where is it?

What is the name of this street?

Solution

The roadside sign indicates that the photo was taken in Germany. The name JP STOFFE is also visible on a storefront near the center of the image.

Searching Google Maps for Germany JP Stoffe produced roughly three candidates. I checked each one in Google Street View and found that the challenge photo matches JP STOFFE - Frankfurt in Frankfurt.

Google Maps identifies the street in front of the store as Stiftstraße.
