Zionskirchplatz

Zionskirchplatz is a public square with a pentagonal layout where five streets converge, positioned on a hill of the Barnim plateau. The area is lined with trees and features multiple pathways that cross through the space.

The square received its name in December 1866 when Zionskirche was constructed. The church's establishment was connected to significant events in Prussian history.

The square is named after Zionskirche, which commemorates failed assassination attempts on King Wilhelm I. The church continues to shape the character and meaning of this location for the neighborhood today.

The square is well-connected by public transportation including several tram and bus lines as well as nearby subway stations. It is accessible at any time of year and easy to explore on foot.

A monument on the square honors Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a resistance fighter who worked at Zionskirche and was executed by the Nazi regime. His story connects this place to a turbulent period in German history.
