Zionskirchplatz

Zionskirchplatz stands on Veteranenberg, a 53-meter elevation on the Barnim plateau, forming a pentagonal space intersected by five streets.

The square received its name in December 1866 during the construction of Zionskirche, which commemorated the unsuccessful attempts to assassinate King Wilhelm I.

The 2013 renovation project restored the historic pathways with marble star ornaments marking square entrances and replanted lime and chestnut trees.

Public transportation options include tram lines M1, M8, and 12, bus line 247, and nearby U-Bahn stations Senefelderplatz and Rosenthaler Platz.

A bronze sculpture honors resistance fighter Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who worked at Zionskirche before his execution by the Nazi regime.
