Hamerlingplatz was created on the site of the demolished Josefstadt barracks . The name was given on October 26, 1904 by the city council in honor of the poet Robert Hamerling .

The rectangular square is surrounded by buildings from the first years of the 20th century. The center is occupied by the Hamerlingpark with a monument to Robert Hamerling, a quiet zone, a children's playground and a dog zone . Motorized individual traffic is only possible through Skodagasse on the west side of the square; the lanes on the other sides of the square are only available to residents for entry and exit as well as cyclists.

An underground car park with 332 spaces for short-term and long-term parkers has been built under the square.

Public transport is available just 100 m away at the junction Josefstädter Straße / Albertgasse (tram lines 2, 5, 33).
