The Ganey-Tikva Square located in the district Hebborn of Bergisch Gladbach in the Rheinisch-Bergisch district . It is located between the Heilsbrunner Hosenmätze day care center and the Evangelical Church of the Heilsbrunnen.

Since 2012 there has been a town partnership between Gane Tikwa in Israel and Bergisch Gladbach. Considerations of how this could be written down in public ultimately led to the creation of a Ganey Tikva Square . The square was inaugurated on September 6, 2015.

The Israeli twin town gave Bergisch Gladbach the sculpture "Key of Friendship" (Hebrew: מְפַתֵּחַ היְדִידוּת) to the sculptor Orna Ben-Ami (Hebrew: אורנה בן עמי), which was installed there.

There is a fountain in the middle of the square. The following slogan was embedded in its base:

"You will be happy to draw water from the well of salvation."
