The square in front of the Brandenburg Gate, the Luisenplatz, was laid out in 1744 under Frederick II, but was not planted until 1854 by Peter Joseph Lenné. In 1939, the square was paved and the trees, except for a few columnar oaks, were removed to create a car park. The redesign from 1999 to 2000 included the construction of an underground car park, the planting of rows of linden trees and the installation of a fountain in the middle of the square.
