Place Gutenberg, Central square in Strasbourg, France.

Place Gutenberg is a broad square on the Grande Île, laid out around 1100 and paved in large grey and beige stone slabs set in alternating light and dark bands that run diagonally across the ground. At its centre stands David d'Angers' bronze statue of Johannes Gutenberg, inaugurated on 24 June 1840, holding a printed sheet against his chest on a tall pedestal with bronze relief plaques. The Neue Bau, the former Strasbourg town hall, borders the square.

The square was laid out around 1100 and was long known as Place du Marché aux Herbes; it bore its present name before 1863. The bronze statue of Johannes Gutenberg by David d'Angers was inaugurated on 24 June 1840. Gutenberg, born in Mainz, carried out his first printing work in Strasbourg, including the Bible.

The square was long known as the Place du Marché aux Herbes before taking the name Gutenberg before 1863; locals still call it Guteberriplatz in Alsatian. At the centre stands David d'Angers' bronze of Gutenberg, inaugurated on 24 June 1840, holding a sheet printed with the biblical verse "et la lumière fût". A carousel is installed on the square, and in December a Christmas market occupies it.

The square is near a parking facility that provides direct access to the historical district and main shopping areas. From here you can easily walk to the cathedral and surrounding old town center.

The bronze figure holds a sheet printed with the biblical verse "and the light was", while four relief plaques on the pedestal show the printing press's influence on other continents. The sculptor was David d'Angers, and the statue was inaugurated on 24 June 1840.
