Hirschlandplatz (Hirschland square) is an underground station of the Essen Stadtbahn in the Stadtkern district, Essen near the Grillo theater.

[1] The station is located below the Hirschlandplatz west of Kettwiger Straße, the main shopping road of the city.

1985 the square was renamed into Hirschlandplatz after the Jewish Hirschland family, who founded the Simon Hirschland Bank and was expropriated by the National Socialists in 1938.

Until the opening of the track to Berliner Platz on 27 November 1981, the station was the terminus of the first line of the Essen Stadtbahn.
