Rüdesheimer Platz

Rudesheimer Platz is a public square in the Rheingauviertel featuring green areas, old trees, flower beds, and the Siegfried fountain with sculptures from 1911. The square is surrounded by buildings with English country house features including gabled facades and front gardens.

The square was designed in 1905 by architect Georg Haberland with English country house elements matching the emerging suburban villa character of early Berlin. The area developed as a residential retreat for wealthier residents seeking distance from the growing city center.

The square takes its name from the Rheingau wine region and maintains this connection through wine culture still present today. The architecture surrounding it displays English country house forms that shape the area's character and appearance.

The square is easily reached via Rudesheimer Platz station on the U3 line, which connects directly to Berlin's transport network. Visitors will find plenty of green space for relaxing and pathways for walking and exploring the surrounding architecture.

The square features a rare octagonal toilet house from the 1900s known as Cafe Achteck, showing early Berlin street furniture design. This small building is a preserved example of how Berlin once equipped public spaces.
