From problem spot to stage
Where Ebertplatz lies today, a safety harbour stood in the French era. The sunken 1970s plaza was long seen as a trouble spot – but a creative scene of galleries, independent spaces and festivals has since taken hold here. At its centre stands the striking water-kinetic fountain sculpture, a landmark of the square.
