Place de la République, Central square in German Quarter, Strasbourg, France
The square features five monumental buildings, including the Palais du Rhin, the National Library, and the Theatre National, forming a grand architectural ensemble.
Originally named Kaiserplatz during the German annexation, the square was designed by architect Jean-Geoffroy Conrath and construction started in 1880.
A central war memorial statue by Léon-Ernest Drivier, installed in 1936, represents a mother holding two fallen sons from France and Germany.
Multiple tram lines and bus routes connect the square to different parts of Strasbourg, making it easily accessible for visitors throughout the day.
The square contains Ginkgo biloba trees planted in the 1880s, received as a gift from Emperor Meiji of Japan during the German period.
