Viktoria-Luise-Platz

Viktoria-Luise-Platz is a hexagonal public square in Tempelhof-Schöneberg featuring landscaped gardens, curved pathways, and a central fountain. Residential buildings from the early 1900s frame the space on all sides.

The square was designed in 1899 by architects Fritz Encke and Franz Jaffé and named after Princess Viktoria Luise, daughter of Emperor Wilhelm II. It was part of the neighborhood's development during that period.

The square serves as a gathering place for neighborhood festivals and seasonal events that shape life in the Bavarian Quarter. Local residents regularly use the space for community celebrations and meetings.

The Viktoria-Luise-Platz U-Bahn station provides direct access to the square, with cafes and shops lining the surrounding streets. The area is easy to navigate on foot and accessible from multiple directions.

Film director Billy Wilder, who created Some Like It Hot, lived at this square during his time in Berlin. The renowned filmmaker was connected to the artistic community of the neighborhood.
