Chamissoplatz

Chamissoplatz is a square in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg featuring historic cobblestone streets, traditional lanterns, and preserved stucco facades from 19th-century apartment buildings around its perimeter. The octagonal shape from its original design still defines the space today.

The square was established in the 1880s and named after German poet Adelbert von Chamisso. This founding period shaped the layout and character that remain visible today.

The square is named after German poet Adelbert von Chamisso and serves as a regular gathering place for local residents. On Saturdays, an organic farmers market draws people together to shop and connect with neighbors.

The square is easily accessible by bus and tram with regular service throughout the day to reach other parts of Berlin. The walkable surroundings make it simple to explore nearby streets at a leisurely pace.

The area has been used as a filming location because it preserves the historical Berlin look from the 1880s so completely. Film crews frequently choose it to capture scenes with authentic backdrops.
