Planning a trip to Berlin? Learn about the Gendarmenmarkt, considered the city's most beautiful square, in this travel video. Some say it's one of the most elegant spots in all of Europe!
Some say the Gendarmenmarkt is one of the most elegant places in Europe. It’s at least Berlin’s most beautiful square.
Not only is the architecture impressive, but the different buildings all complement one another perfectly.
Perhaps even more impressive is that the buildings saw extensive damage during World War II, but were restored completely.
The French Cathedral gets its name from being designed to resemble a French Huguenot temple, and because the congregation once spoke French. The tower has a viewing platform, which offers an excellent view of Berlin.
Across from the French Cathedral is the German Cathedral.
It was named in contrast to the French Cathedral and similarly the congregation in this church has always spoken German.
The two churches’ towers were designed together so that the Gendarmenmarkt would be symmetrical.
Framed by the two churches is the Berlin Concert House -- with some of the best acoustic quality of any building in the world. Listen to the Berlin Symphony Orchestra play there, and you’ll hear the difference.
Aside from having impressive architecture, the Gendarmenmarkt is used as a public square.
If you happen to visit Berlin during the Christmas season, one of the city’s best Christmas markets is held in the Gendarmenmarkt. But whenever you’re in town, the Gendarmenmarkt is worth a visit.

Der Gendarmenmarkt in Mitte wird oft als schönster Platz Berlins bezeichnet. Zentrales Gebäude ist das Konzerthaus, das an der Nordseite vom Französischen Dom, auf der Gegenseite vom Deutschen Dom flankiert wird.
Der rund 3,3 Hektar große Platz liegt inmitten des Stadtviertels Friedrichstadt. Er nimmt drei der Karrees ein und wird begrenzt durch die Französische Straße im Norden, die Charlottenstraße im Westen, die Mohrenstraße im Süden und die Markgrafenstraße im Osten.

This Video's Script:
I am not the only person who thinks #Gendarmenmarkt is the most beautiful place in #Berlin.
Just ask every other tour in the city and you will here the same answer.
At first glance the square doesn’t look extra special. many classic European squares look somewhat similar, with the same renaissance style.
But consider the extreme destruction this city has gone through during WWII, it is actually quite rare to find such a remnant in the city center.
That not to say artillery and air raids did not damaged Gendarmenmarkt. The beautiful buildings here almost collapsed after the war, but an amazing restoration work made it possible for us to enjoy the place like in old times.
The square got its name after a battalion of gendarmes that was stationed here in the 18th century.
The French Church was built for the Huguenots community that escaped Louis XIV and found refuge in Berlin during the 17th century. And today the church has a nice restaurant and a museum of the Huguenots’ history.
The German church on the other side of the square was design to look similar to the French church to make the square symmetric. This church belongs to the Lutheran community. And today it’s a museum of German history.
The Konzerthaus Berlin is the most recent building here, it was built by the famous Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1821 on the ruins of the National Theatre. Today, it is the home of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin.
Nearby Gendarmenmarkt, #Bebelplatz is also a stunning looking square.
With the Berlin State Opera building, St. Hedwig's Cathedral and the Humboldt University. Bebel Platz is also a very important historical square. Here in may the 10th 1933 a group of students and professors burned 20,000 books as part of a Nazi campaign to purify the German culture as they saw it.
The books were those written by Jewish, pacifist, socialist, and communist authors among others.
Some of the most famous names are: Karl max, Tomas Man and Heinrich Heine who wrote in his play “Almansor” the famous sentence: “That was but a prelude; where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people as well.
It is chilling to grasp the fact this is what actually happened in the end.
Behind Bebelplatz the Friedrichswerder Church is an historically important church that was built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Today it is permanently close due to structural damage from nearby building activity.
Next to it, the Bauakademie was also built by Karl Schinkel. It was a place were master builders learn about the high art of architecture while ignoring the technical aspects of construction.
It was destroyed during WWII and today it is an alternative culture center. you can enter between the ruins, in the middle of the night, to find techno parties on some weekends

The most beautiful square in Berlin? The most beautiful north of the Alps? Take a look for yourself at Gendarmenmarkt. Once, soldiers matched here, but today Berliners and tourists stroll across the square. It’s said to be the most beautiful public square in Berlin, and perhaps the most beautiful north of the Alps. The ensemble of the concert house and two church buildings embellished with towers is in perfect harmony. In summer, orchestras play the most beautiful classical melodies at the Classic Open Air, and in winter the square transforms into a winter wonderland with a Christmas market.
The Friedrichstadt quarter was built by Friedrich I at the end of the 17th century according to plans by Johann Arnold Nering. Its main residents were Huguenot refugees from France, which is why the French Protestant community was given one church on the square, and the Lutheran congregation the other. The square got its name from the “Gens d’armes” cuirassier regiment, whose stables there were demolished by Friedrich II. Between the two churches, a new theatre, now known as the Konzerthaus Berlin, was built.
Right in the middle of the square, in front of the Konzerthaus, is a statue of the poet Friedrich Schiller. It was not until twelve years after the foundation stone was laid that the monument was unveiled. After the Second World War, the square lay in ruins. In the 1970s, the East Berlin government had it rebuilt in its current form. Having been renamed Platz der Akademie in 1950, Gendarmenmarkt got its old name back in 1991 after reunification.
Gendarmenmarkt took on its current form under Friedrich II – with a harmonious architectural ensemble planned by Georg Christian Unger. Carl von Gontard embellished both the Französische Friedrichstadtkirche and the Lutheran church with almost over-dimensioned domed towers. Although the towers are called the Deutscher Dom and the Französischer Dom (“Dom” means “cathedral” in German), they are not churches. They are simply called that after the French word for a dome.
The Deutscher Dom now houses the Bundestag’s exhibition on German parliamentary history Milestones – Setbacks – Sidetracks. The Path to Parliamentary Democracy in Germany. The Französischer Dom contains the Huguenot Museum. The lower part of the building is still the Französische Friedrichstadtkirche.
The poet E.T.A. Hoffmann once lived here, and he recorded city life in his story My Cousin’s Corner Window. He liked to spend his time in the Lutter & Wegner wine tavern, where his actor friend Ludwig Devrient is said to have unintentionally invented the German word for sparkling wine, “Sekt”. Today, the wine tavern is only two street corners away from the original building.

Gendarmenmarkt Berlin Mitte, Luftaufnahme 1991
Der Gendarmenmarkt ist ein Platz in Berlin Mitte. Er nimmt drei der Karrees der Friedrichstadt ein, die Vorstadt von Alt-Berlin, die im 17.Jhd. angelegt wurde und nach dem preußischen König Friedrich I. benannt wurde.
Der Platz ist symmetrisch angeordnet und bietet Platz für drei herausragende Bauwerke: den Französischen Dom im Norden, den Deutschen Dom im Süden und mittig auf der Westseite gelegen das Schauspielhaus. Dom meint in diesem Fall nicht Bischofskirche, sondern kommt von dem Französischen Wort dôme. Der französische Dom ist an die Französische Friedrichstadtkirche angebaut, die Anfang des 18.Jhd. von den Hugenotten errichtet worden war. Das im klassizistischen Baustil entworfene Schauspielhaus ist von dem Architekten Karl Friedrich Schinkel erbaut worden.
Zu Zeiten der DDR-Zeit hieß der Platz Platz der Akademie und wurde 1991 in Gendarmenmarkt zurück benannt.
Die Luftaufnahme von 1991 überfliegt den Platz in einer Runde und zeigt ihn von allen Seiten.
Die angrenzenden Straßen sind im Norden die Französische Straße, im Westen die Charlottenstraße, im Süden die Mohrenstraße und im Osten die Markgrafenstraße. Dadurch, dass der Platz sich in Nord-Süd-Richtung über drei Blöcke erstreckt, werden die Jägerstr. und die Taubenstr. durch den Platz unterbrochen.
