Visite-conférence
History of the lay out of the Place des martyrs / Rousegäertchen
The square known as Rousegäertchen underwent a late phase of urban development. Originally planned under the name Place de l’Étoile, its design sparked lengthy debates. For many years, it served as a storage area for construction materials.
Why was this site ultimately laid out in the style of a French formal garden?
What did the neighbourhood look like at the time?
The visit will be held in French.
Where does the square get its name from?
Why was an underground parking garage built here of all places?
And what role does the square play in the country’s rose-related tradition?
