Google has apologised after a Berlin intersection briefly regained its Nazi-era name, Adolf-Hitler-Platz, on Google Maps.

Google spokeswoman Lena Wagner said the company quickly took down the name after the error was discovered. The intersection was relabelled with its proper name, Theodor-Heuss-Platz, after West Germany's first post-World War II president.

In a statement, Google said edits submitted by users of its Map Maker function "are reviewed either by the community of mapping volunteers or Google moderators".

"In this particular case, the change in the street name was mistakenly approved, and we fixed it as soon as we were made aware," it added. "We apologise for any offence caused."
