The triangular Lidellplatz is located in the eastern part of Karlsruhe city centre and is characterised by its familiar flair and cosiness. The square was built in 1970 away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and named "Spitalplatz". Formerly named after the Bürgerspital hospital, the square was renamed "Lidellplatz" in 1893. Today it is surrounded by owner-managed shops and galleries as well as cosy cafés and restaurants, which can also be found in the adjacent Gewerbehof. In 2006, the square was renovated and the playground redesigned to ensure that Lidellplatz, with its listed Lidellbrunnen fountain, remains a meeting place for young and old.
