Klaus-Mann-Platz
Klaus-Mann-Platz occupies a triangular junction in Frankfurt’s city centre, where Schäfergasse meets Alte Gasse. Four benches surround its central angel sculpture. The Frankfurter Engel commemorates the persecution of homosexuals and anchors Frankfurt’s LGBTQ+ cultural and social scene. Boxwood hedges form a second circle around the benches.
Once an unstructured urban area, the site became a plaza when the memorial was installed. To the west, the Liebfrauenschule sports hall has a glass-brick façade. Cinema, hotel and shops line the architecturally varied buildings to the north, while Schäfergasse borders the southern side. None of the neighbouring buildings uses the plaza as a postal address.
