Hohenstaufenplatz, Public square and park in Kreuzberg, Germany.

Hohenstaufenplatz is a rectangular square at the Kottbusser Damm in Kreuzberg. In its centre lies a playground shaped as a sand pit, around which paved paths run through the greenery. At the south-eastern corner stands the former public toilet built in 1895, now a listed snack hall; to the west two ball courts and a traffic-calmed street widen the square.

The square was laid out and paved in 1875. On 27 February 1889 it was named after Hohenstaufen Castle, the ancestral seat of the Staufer noble family. In 1895 a public toilet was built on the square; it was later converted into a snack hall and is now a listed monument.

Locals call the square Zickenplatz, after the goats that once grazed here. A weekly market is held every Tuesday from 12:00 to 18:30 and Saturday from 9:00 to 14:00, on the traffic-calmed street at the western edge. The former public toilet of 1895, now a snack hall, stands at the south-eastern corner and is a protected monument.

The square is easily accessible via the Schönleinstraße U-Bahn station, and parking spaces are available in the surrounding area. The parking area is managed under zone 63 regulations, so be aware of any restrictions when planning your visit.

The space was once nicknamed Zickenplatz because goats grazed there in the past and the land served as pasture. Today a protected historic building stands on the site, originally constructed as a public restroom but now repurposed for other uses.
