Ebertplatz, square in Neustadt-Nord, Cologne, Germany

Ebertplatz is a square in the Neustadt-Nord district of Cologne, Germany. It is the largest square of the inner city ring roads, connecting the Hansaring with the Theodor-Heuss-Ring, and features a paved pedestrian area with a central monument, trees, benches, and a small fountain-like basin.

The square was laid out at the end of the 19th century as part of Cologne's city expansion, designed by Joseph Stübben and Karl Henrici. It was originally named Deutscher Platz in 1887 and later renamed after Friedrich Ebert.

The square's name comes from Friedrich Ebert, the first president of the Weimar Republic, reflecting a common practice of naming public spaces after political figures. Today, the open paved areas and green spots serve as a meeting point for locals, and the central monument adds a focal point for passersby.

The square is easy to reach on foot or by public transport, with wide paths that make it accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Visitors can use the benches around the open areas to rest, and the layout makes it simple to navigate between the surrounding streets.

Before the square existed, the area was outside the medieval city wall and was used for agriculture for centuries. A security harbor was built nearby in the early 19th century to protect against ice and floods, but it was filled in around 1890 to make way for the new urban development.
