Jockel-Fuchs-Platz, Urban square at Mainz City Hall, Germany
Jockel-Fuchs-Platz is a city square adjacent to Mainz City Hall featuring a triangular footprint and contemporary design. Norwegian stone cladding and modern architecture combine to create a terraced public space with clean lines.
In 2003 the square was renamed to honor Jakob Fuchs, who served as Mainz mayor from 1965 to 1987. The name change reflects the city's recognition of his contributions during his lengthy tenure.
The square honors a long-serving mayor and keeps his memory alive through its name and public role. The artworks here reflect themes of energy and time, creating a meeting place for the community.
The square is easily accessible with multiple pathways, and an underground parking garage is available via glass elevator or stairways. The Tourism Office at Brückenturm provides visitor information for the surrounding area.
A pedestrian bridge crosses Rheinstraße at an elevated level, connecting the square directly to a shopping center without touching ground level. This elevated passage creates an unusual routing through the urban landscape.
