Fehrbelliner Platz, square in Wilmersdorf, Berlin, Germany
Fehrbelliner Platz is a square in the Wilmersdorf district of Berlin, Germany. It is laid out in a horseshoe shape, with a row of stone-clad administrative buildings around its edge and an opening to the north toward Preußenpark.
The square was laid out in the 1930s after a competition to design a unified urban space, and the winning plan gave it the curved shape seen today. Over the following years, large administrative buildings were constructed around the edge, and some of them still serve official purposes.
The name of the square recalls a battle from long ago, and this reference is part of how locals identify the place. Today the wide paved area is used by people passing through on their way to the nearby offices, shops, and homes, giving it a steady flow of everyday activity.
The square is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets, and an underground station sits right at its edge. When you arrive, walk around the central area to see how the buildings curve and where the open side leads toward the park.
One of the buildings on the square once had upper floors converted into a Russian Orthodox church with onion domes, used by emigrants after the Russian Revolution. That church was later replaced by a cathedral nearby, but the memory of this unusual chapter is often missed by visitors.
