Johannaplatz is a hexagonal garden in the Berlin district of Grunewald . Six streets of the surrounding villa colony Grunewald flow into the square.
Johannaplatz was originally laid out as a church square in 1890, but a church was never built. Instead, it was designed as a green area with deciduous and coniferous trees in 1898 and named after Johanna von Bismarck , Otto von Bismarck's wife .
The old trees have largely been preserved to this day. However, only individual buildings of the historical villa development around the square still exist. One of them is the villa of the entrepreneur Erich Schrobsdorff, the father of the writer Angelika Schrobsdorff , who spent her childhood here until she had to leave Berlin with her Jewish mother due to the political situation.
