🗻️ Schloßplatz (Berlin)

Schloßplatz is a square located on Museum Island (Museumsinsel) in Berlin, Germany. The square was restored in 2017-2023 in connection with the reconstruction of the Berlin Palace as the home of the Humboldt Forum. It measures about 225 m by 175 m, with its long side oriented on an axis approximately southwest/northeast. At its west corner is the Schlossbrücke, from which Unter den Linden leads west to the Brandenburg Gate. From the same corner, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße runs northeast alongside the square and on to Alexanderplatz. Until the early 20th century, only the square south of the palace was so named, the square north of it being the Lustgarten.
