Kopstadtplatz

In the location's words:

During the period of increasing industrialization in Essen, Kopstadtplatz was laid out as a market square and was once considered one of the most beautiful squares in Essen. It served as a regular meeting place for numerous Essen citizens. Over the last few decades, however, it has lost its function as a marketplace and meeting place. To counteract this, the project team has now transformed the square - initially temporarily - into the "City Oasis Kopstadtplatz". To this end, seating was installed and mobile planting units set up. The seating areas and raised beds were built from colored and stacked Euro pallets. The raised beds were planted with useful plants and shrubs. Some seating areas are located under the overgrown colonnade, providing a nice shady spot in summer. In addition, the project managers are planning to organize concerts and other events in collaboration with local restaurateurs, the cultural office and EMG. A small stage will be set up on Kopstadtplatz for the concerts.

For the entire duration of the project from May to October, there will be no parking spaces available on Kopstadtplatz, so those looking for a parking space will have to use the various nearby parking garages within walking distance.
