Does git-svn renaming preserve SVN history?

I need to rename a file via Git while using git-svn. Will the history of the file in SVN be preserved after dcommit?

I know it will be if I'm using just Git or just SVN but I'm not sure if there is some history-preserving forwarding in between.

Currently cannot try it myself.

No!

I've renamed a large folder "Kundencenter" to "Kunden-Center".

In SVN I then had the old folder "Kundencenter" with loads of empty folders which also had the history and the new folder "Kunden-Center" which had no history.

I've used git version 2.35.1.windows.2.

Yes, as long as Git detects it as move or copy, in my experience it was also transported as move or copy to SVN, which means history was preserved.
