Guided Story
Imagine yourself transported back to 1737. It's a time when Frederick William I, the Soldier King, commanded the creation of this very square. Look around you, the baroque architecture whispers tales from that era when Prussian generals were honored here. Just behind you is the monument of Hans Joachim von Zieten, the very man this square is named after. His feats in the military and his loyalty to the king turned him into a legend. As you take in the sights, notice how each stone and tree has witnessed a rich tapestry of history. And if you look to your right, you'll see other monuments standing like silent sentinels, guarding the stories of the past.
