Ernst-Ludwig-Platz, Public square in Mainz, Germany.
Ernst-Ludwig-Platz forms a polygonal open space in the historic Schlossviertel district, surrounded by significant governmental and administrative buildings.
The area transformed from an electoral palace garden to a parade ground in 1776 when Friedrich Carl Joseph von Erthal ordered the removal of trees.
The square connects the old town with the newer parts of Mainz, featuring the Electoral Palace and St. Peter's Church as architectural focal points.
An underground parking facility constructed between 1972 and 1974 provides vehicle storage space beneath Ernst-Ludwig-Platz and Ernst-Ludwig-Straße.
A portion of the original square received a new name, Helmut-Kohl-Platz, in 2018 to honor the former German Chancellor.
