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.
