history
Up until 1904 there was a 500-meter-long, oval cement racing track on the surrounding grounds of the Wagner quarter, which was located in what was then the Friedenau sports park. The sports park was torn down and the area was laid out from 1906 by Georg Haberland and his Berlinische Boden-Gesellschaft with four-story apartment buildings for upscale living around Wagnerplatz .
In 1935 the square was given its current name after Cosima Wagner , Richard Wagner's second wife, who died in 1930 and who took over the management of the Bayreuth Festival after her husband's death .
