Gendarmenmarkt, Public square in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

Gendarmenmarkt is a public square in the Mitte district and ranks among the most recognized spaces in the capital. At its center stands the concert hall, flanked by two domed towers belonging to the French Cathedral and the German Cathedral.

Johann Arnold Nering laid out the square in the late 17th century as Linden-Markt. The name Gendarmenmarkt emerged in 1799 after the stables of the Cuirassier Regiment nearby.

The name "Dom" here means dome, not cathedral: neither church ever held a bishop's seat. The French Church, built 1701–1705 by the Huguenot community, now holds a Huguenot museum and a viewing platform in Carl von Gontard's 1785 tower. The German Church, rebuilt by 1993 and reopened in 1996, shows exhibitions on German parliamentary history.

The square covers about 3.3 hectares and is bounded by Französische Straße to the north, Charlottenstraße to the west, Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Straße to the south and Markgrafenstraße to the east. Jägerstraße and Taubenstraße are cut by the square and continue across it as pedestrian zones, so the paving is largely traffic-free. The paving of large light-grey slabs with darker cobblestone bands dates from the 1936 redesign.

During winter the square transforms into a market where visitors find seasonal products among the neoclassical facades. The architecture remains visible despite the stalls and forms a contrast with the wooden stands.
