Viktoria-Luise-Platz

Today, Viktoria-Luise-Platz is a popular place to linger. It is mainly used by residents and especially by students of the nearby Lette School. It is named after Viktoria Luise of Prussia, the only daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II, and was inaugurated with a large celebration on 9 June 1900.

The square was laid out as an outstanding example of a horticultural ornamental square of the imperial era according to Fritz Encke's award-winning design. Enke's design went beyond the type of exclusively representative ornamental square prevalent in the 19th century. He was a representative of the reform movement and his design provided an early example of the improvement of urban living quality through "social greenery".

Until 1957, the structure of the square remained almost unchanged, after which a rigorous redesign took place without regard to the historical conditions. In 1979/1980, the square was restored to its historic design.

In 1995, the last major step in the repairs was the fountain with the large fountain. In the surrounding area there are a variety of restaurants and cafes, which are popular meeting places.
