Louise-Schroeder-Platz, Public square and park in Wedding, Berlin, Germany
Louise-Schroeder-Platz is a two-part square and green space in Berlin-Wedding at the crossing of Seestraße, Reinickendorfer Straße (B 96) and Osloer Straße, covering 8,078 m². The B 96 separates its two halves. Rudolf Germer laid out the garden in 1923 with symmetrical hedges, formal flower beds, seating niches, rose arches and a water basin in the eastern section. West of the square stand the 1957 Louise-Schroeder-Sporthalle and the Kombibad Seestraße, completed in 1980/1981.
The square was established in 1862 as Platz H and later renamed Oskarplatz in 1905 before receiving its current name in 1958. The renaming honored Louise Schroeder, who became Berlin's first female mayor immediately after World War II.
The square is named after Louise Schroeder, Berlin's first post-war mayor, reflecting its role in the city's political memory. Visitors can still experience the symmetrical garden arrangements with their hedges and rose arches that define its character today.
The square lies at the junction of Seestraße, Reinickendorfer Straße (B 96) and Osloer Straße in Wedding, and the B 96 carriageway splits it into a western and an eastern part, so crossing the road is needed to see both. The water basin sits in the eastern section, while the Louise-Schroeder-Sporthalle and the Kombibad Seestraße stand to the west.
The original garden design created in 1923 by Rudolf Germer has been preserved with its symmetrical patterns still visible today. This retention of historical garden elements is noteworthy, as many urban squares underwent major changes over the decades.
