The development of the square began in 1880, when the then bank area began to be built on. In 1887 the square was finally completed after the development of the Mainz Neustadt. Trees, bushes and bushes were planted in these construction measures. In the middle was a large meadow. At the northeastern end of the Rhine, the Feldbergtor and stood caponier V .
In the next few years, single-family houses , apartment blocks and shops were built around Feldbergplatz . In addition, a magnificent villa was built on the banks of the Rhine and a large multi-storey school building north-east of Rheinallee, which now also houses a kindergarten. For this purpose, a number of public buildings were erected in the monument zone, for example the chemical investigation office at Zollhafen 12. A midwifery school was also built on Feldbergplatz .
