history
The square was created in 1853 when the area between Maria-Theresien-Straße and the newly built train station was being developed and was initially called Neuplatz . In 1858 he was after the deceased in the same year Archduchess Margaret of Saxony , wife of the Tyrolean governor Karl Ludwig , Margarethenplatz named. From 1873 to 1877 the Rudolfsbrunnen was built in its center. In 1923, the course was in memory of the separation of South Tyrol in 1919 after the city of Bolzano in Boznerplatz renamed. Due to its proximity to the train station, it was badly affected by bombs in World War II . Most of the buildings were therefore rebuilt or entirely rebuilt after the war.
