Beatles Platz is circular, with a diameter of 29 meters, paved in black tiles that resemble a vinyl record. Five sculptures stand in the square, representing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Stuart Sutcliffe. The square was primarily created to commemorate Hamburg’s historic role and significant contribution to the band’s development. Construction began in 2008 and was completed in just three months. Between 1960 and 1962, the five original members of the band—including the original bassist Stuart Sutcliffe—performed hundreds of concerts near Beatles Platz—. Although many of the clubs from those days have since closed, it remains a must-visit destination for fans.
