Overview
- City officials led by Mayor Dieter Reiter opened the redesigned square on December 9, marking completion of the interim project.
- The layout creates paved, barrier-free paths oriented to the Max I Joseph monument with eight turf fields and refurbished historic lamps.
- About 1,400 square meters of grass are intended to aid rain retention and evaporation, and the city pegs the cost at €3.87 million.
- Planners referenced a 19th‑century concept from Leo von Klenze’s milieu, and conservation chief Mathias Pfeil voiced satisfaction with the result.
- Traffic patterns remain in place due to existing taxi and garage contracts, with added seating and plantings scheduled for spring.
