Surrounded by building that all go back to the 18th century and to Frederick the Great. You can see the National Opera House, the main building of the Humboldt University and the Law Faculty building, which used to be a library. In the middle of the square the Nazis burnt book on the night of May 10th, 1933, shortly after they came to power.

The neoclassical buildings of this monumental area is the Catholic cathedral in Berlin. Known as the Cathedral of Santa Eduvigis (St. Edwige), it will be very easy to recognize the building because its design emulates the famous Pantheon Agrippa in Rome.

The action, meant as a dire warning to Nazi opponents was instigated with the purposes of destroying the "Jewish mind and the whole rotten liberalist tendency". Over 20,000 works including those of the so-called subversive writers including Karl Marx, Berthold Brecht and Thomas Mann were set alight and destroyed.

Another historic square featuring a memorial to the book burnings of 1933. Look underground through the glass pane in the middle of the square.
