Hauptplatz, Leoben, Central square and pedestrian zone in Leoben, Austria.

Hauptplatz is a 200 by 40 metre square in Leoben, paved in stone and enclosed by buildings on most sides after two northern structures were demolished. At its north end stands the Engelsbrunnen of 1794, a round basin with a four-sided column holding a classicist angel bearing the town coat of arms; at the south end is the Bergmannsbrunnen of 1799, crowned by a miner in Maximilian dress holding a double-eagle shield.

The 200 by 40 metre square dates from the Middle Ages, when it was called "Markt" or "Platz" and was almost fully enclosed by buildings until two structures on the north side were demolished. It was renamed Hauptplatz in 1900, having previously been divided into Oberer Platz and Unterer Platz from the Trinity Column. From 1934 to 1938 it bore the name Dollfuss-Platz, and from 1938 to 1945 Adolf-Hitler-Platz. In 1996 it was redesigned to plans by architect Boris Podrecca.

The square hosts weekly markets and festivals where local producers and craftspeople display their goods. You can observe the rhythm of daily public life, with residents gathering to shop, meet, and spend time together.

The square is easily accessible on foot and has several parking options nearby, including an underground garage with direct access to the pedestrian zone. The best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon when foot traffic and activity are at their peak.

At the Montanuniversität Leoben, students traditionally kiss the Bergmannsbrunnen statue at the south end of the square when they finish their degree. The miner, carved in Maximilian dress, holds a shield with the double eagle, and drinking water flows from the east and west sides of the column.
