The Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt Foundation was established in 1994. It serves to honour the memory of Brandt's political accomplishments and his commitment to peace, freedom and democracy. The foundation runs two permanent exhibitions: one in Berlin and [[Willy Brandt House, Lübeck|the other]] in Lübeck, where Brandt was born. Other works of the foundation include oversight of Brandt's papers, speeches and letters (the Berlin Edition), historical research as well as organizing lectures and international conferences.<ref>{{cite web|title = Bundeskanzler Willy Brandt Stiftung: The foundation|url = http://www.willy-brandt.de/en/foundation.html|website = www.willy-brandt.de|access-date = 15 September 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150505062201/http://www.willy-brandt.de/en/foundation.html|archive-date = 5 May 2015|url-status=dead|df = dmy-all}}</ref>

In 1997, a [[Willy Brandts Park|park]] in Stockholm was named in Brandt's honor. It is close to where he lived during his exile in Sweden 1941–1945.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dn.se/arkiv/stockholm/park-far-namn-efter-willy-brandt/ |title=Park får namn efter Willy Brandt |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=18 March 1997 |website=Dagens Nyheter. |publisher=Dagens Nyheter |access-date=19 February 2022 |quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://stockholmskallan.stockholm.se/post/28155 |title=Skylt på Willy Brandts hus i Hammarbyhöjden |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= 2 December 2021|website=Stockholmskällan |publisher=Stockholm Municipality |access-date=19 February 2022 |quote=}}</ref>

When the SPD moved its headquarters from Bonn back to Berlin in the mid-1990s, the new headquarters was named the "Willy Brandt Haus". One of the buildings of the [[Espace Léopold|European Parliament in Brussels]] was named after him in 2008.

On 6 December 2000, a [[Willy Brandt Monument (Warsaw)|memorial to Brandt]] and ''[[Warschauer Kniefall]]'' was unveiled in [[Warsaw]], Poland.

German artist [[Johannes Heisig]] painted several portraits of Brandt, of which one was unveiled as part of an honoring event at the German Historical Institute Washington, DC on 18 March 2003. Spokesmen amongst others were former German Federal Minister Egon Bahr and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.<ref name=GHI>{{cite web|title=Honoring Willy Brandt|url=http://www.ghi-dc.org/publications/ghipubs/bu/033/90.pdf|publisher=GHI Bulletin No. 33 (Fall 2003)|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927024000/http://www.ghi-dc.org/publications/ghipubs/bu/033/90.pdf|archive-date=27 September 2011}}</ref>

In 2009, the Willy-Brandt-Memorial was opened up in Nuremberg at the Willy-Brandt Square.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nuernberg.de/imperia/md/baureferat/dokumente/wettbewerbe/pm_enthuellung_willybrandt.pdf |title=Enthüllung der Skulptur "Willy Brandt" |website=Nuernberg.de |access-date=17 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150103052510/http://www.nuernberg.de/imperia/md/baureferat/dokumente/wettbewerbe/pm_enthuellung_willybrandt.pdf |archive-date=3 January 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was created by the artist [[Josef Tabachnyk]].

In 2009, the [[University of Erfurt]] renamed its [[graduate school]] of [[public administration]] as the [[Willy Brandt School of Public Policy]]. A [[private school|private]] German-language [[secondary school]] in [[Warsaw]], Poland, is also named after Brandt.

The main boulevard at the north entrance of the [[Montenegro|Montenegrin]] capital [[Podgorica]] was named Willy Brandt Boulevard in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dan.co.me/?nivo=3&rubrika=Podgoricom&clanak=283467&datum=2011-06-10|title=Dan online – Podgoricom: – 2011-06-10|work=dan.co.me}}</ref>

Brandt also has an unusual memorial in [[Hammersmith]] in [[London]], United Kingdom. In 1963, when he was mayor of West Berlin, Brandt travelled to Hammersmith with a [[Street light|street lamp]] from West Berlin and presented it to the mayor of Hammersmith to mark its twinning with [[Neukölln]]. The lamp now stands on the wall of [[Westcott Lodge]], facing [[Furnival Gardens]], with a commemorative plaque below it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.londonremembers.com/memorials/west-berlin-street-lamp|title=West Berlin Street Lamp|publisher=londonremembers.com|access-date=1 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160316040021/http://www.londonremembers.com/memorials/west-berlin-street-lamp|archive-date=16 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Although Brandt had only served five years in office as [[Chancellor of Germany]], he remains as one of the most popular politicians in the history of the [[Federal Republic of Germany]].

[[Berlin Brandenburg Airport]], which opened in late 2020, is also named in his honor.
