Place Kléber, Central square in Strasbourg, France
The stone surface of Place Kléber extends across the commercial district, surrounded by buildings from different architectural periods and decorated storefronts.
The square changed names multiple times, from Barfüsserplatz to Waffenplatz, before receiving its current name in 1840 to honor General Jean-Baptiste Kléber.
The Aubette building on the northern edge features interior designs from 1928 by artists Jean Arp, Theo van Doesburg, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
The square connects to multiple shopping streets and transportation routes, making it an effective starting point for exploring Strasbourg's historic center.
A vault beneath the central statue contains the remains of General Kléber, who was assassinated in Cairo in 1800 and repatriated to his hometown.

In Strasbourg, each step crosses several centuries of history. You walk from medieval alleys lined with half-timbered houses to glass buildings housing European institutions. The cathedral, 142 meters high, has dominated the city since the Middle Ages, while modern structures along the Rhine reflect the city’s European role. The sound of bells blends with tram noise, and the smell of gingerbread drifts through the contemporary administrative districts.
