Gendarmenmarkt, Public square in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
The Gendarmenmarkt features three monumental buildings: the Konzerthaus concert hall and two identical churches with towers on opposite sides of the square.
Johann Arnold Nering established the square in the late 17th century as Linden-Markt, while the name Gendarmenmarkt came from the Cuirassier Regiment stables in 1799.
The French Cathedral houses the Huguenot Museum, while the German Cathedral contains exhibits about German parliamentary history through different historical periods.
The square connects to public transportation through U-Bahn stations Hausvogteiplatz on line U2 and Französische Straße on line U6.
During winter months, the square transforms into a market where visitors find seasonal products among the neoclassical architecture of central Berlin.
