Schillerplatz, Central square with historical monument in Mainz, Germany.

Schillerplatz features noble courts from Baroque and Rococo periods, along with a bronze statue of Friedrich Schiller standing on Belgian marble.

The square served as the only flood-free marketplace in medieval Mainz, hosting grain markets and livestock sales throughout the centuries.

The proclamation of the Mainz Carnival season takes place annually at this location, marking a significant event in the regional calendar.

Multiple benches surround the central monument, while cafes and shops line the perimeter of this green space in downtown Mainz.

The bronze Schiller statue, installed in 1862, holds an open book and stands at its current position since a 1929 relocation within the square.
