Named after Adenauerplatz, which honours Konrad Adenauer, the first Federal Chancellor.
The small triangular square on the Kurfürstendamm appeared when north–south traffic was rerouted onto the new Lewishamstraße. In 1973 it was named after Konrad Adenauer (1876–1967), Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1949 to 1963. In 2005 Angela Merkel unveiled a bronze statue of him on the north side of the square.
