Louise-Schroeder-Platz

Louise-Schroeder-Platz is a public square and green space at the Seestrasse intersection in Berlin's Mitte district, divided into two sections by Reinickendorfer Strasse. Pathways wind through mature trees and hedges, while a sports hall and swimming pool complex sit along its western edge.

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 location sits at an important transport junction with good connections to public transit and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that the square is divided into two sections that require crossing between them.

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.
