‘Platz der Vereinten Nationen’ means United Nations Square.
The Landsberger Tor, a gate in the old customs wall, once stood here, and the square was later called Landsberger Platz. In 1950 it became Leninplatz. Demolition of a giant Lenin monument unveiled in 1970 began in November 1991, and on 13 March 1992 the square was renamed after the United Nations.
