Schloßplatz, Square in Mitte, Berlin, Germany

Schloßplatz is a square on Museum Island in Berlin, Germany. It measures about 740 by 575 feet (225 by 175 meters) and is bordered by the Berlin Palace to the north, the Spree River to the east, and the Schloßfreiheit to the west.

The square was the site of the Berlin City Palace, which was demolished in 1950. It was renamed Marx-Engels-Platz in 1951 and later became home to the Palast der Republik, which was demolished between 2006 and 2008. The palace was rebuilt between 2012 and 2020.

The square is named after the Berlin Palace, and its name is shared by similar squares in other German cities. Today, it is a place where visitors gather to admire the palace facades and watch street performers.

The square is easy to reach on foot or by public transport, with several bus and tram stops nearby. It is a good starting point for exploring Museum Island, so wear comfortable shoes and allow time to walk around.

The Council of State building nearby contains a balcony from the former city palace, where Karl Liebknecht proclaimed a socialist republic in 1918. The music video for Rammstein's song 'Ich Will' was filmed on the square.
