The Adolphsplatz is a central place in the center of Hamburg , just south of the block assembly from City Hall, and Hamburg Stock Exchange .

Since 1821 it has been named after Adolf IV von Schauenburg and Holstein , who opened up the area around the square. According to a vow he had made on July 22nd, 1227, the name day of St. Mary Magdalene , during the Battle of Bornhöved against the Danes, he founded the Franciscan Maria Magdalene Monastery in 1231 and entered this monastery in 1239. Until it was demolished in 1807, the monastery church took up roughly the same area as the square. The Count's monument erected on the square from 1821 to 1840 was destroyed in the Second World War.

After the monastery was relocated to the Glockengießerwall and demolished in 1838, the Hamburg Stock Exchange with the rooms of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce was built on the northeast side of the square in 1839/41 .

The square and the north wing of the stock exchange have been crossed by the ring line of the Hamburger Hochbahn since 1908 . The next stop is Rathaus in the north and Rödingsmarkt in the south.

The main administration of the Hamburger Sparkasse (Haspa) limits the space in the southwest . The old Hamburg giro bank was located at this location , later its legal successor, the Reichsbank, which moved to new premises in 1919 on the Rathausmarkt , now the Bucerius Kunst Forum . Nothing has survived from the building, which was converted by Martin Haller in 1897 . In its place stands the office building built in 1954 by Gottfried Schramm and Jürgen Elingius and later expanded several times with a ticket hall above the overbuilt Mönkedammfleet . The Haspa office building built in 1907 by Martin Haller and Hermann Geißler for the Berenberg Bank faces the square (No. 5) and has been a listed building since May 1, 2013.

Further south, Mönkedamm leaves the square with the subway ramp.

The building to the west on the corner of the Alten Wall was built for Deutsche Bank in 1896–97 by Martin Haller. After it was destroyed in the war, the new building was carried out by Georg Wellhausen in 1951–53 . This building has also been a listed building since May 1, 2013.

Beyond the old wall is the modern building of the HSBA Hamburg School of Business Administration and further north is the headquarters of the former Vereinsbank in Hamburg .
