Kennedyplatz

Kennedyplatz is a plaza in the German city of Essen.

It was laid out on a previously densely-built site which had been destroyed in the Second World War.

Today, the area serves as an inner-city event space.

Previously known as the Gildenplatz, the square was renamed on 17 December 1963[1] in memory of US president John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated the previous month.
