Luftbrücke literally means "air bridge" - the Berlin Airlift is named differently in German. (Note that the monument can be seen as a segment of a bridge.) Explaining this immediately after the English name of the square would create clutter, and simply presenting Luftbrücke as meaning "airlift" is not strictly accurate. Instead it's explained after the name of the monument that gives the square its name, a couple of lines below, which is also the logical place for that explanation.
