Muschelminna Fountain, Postplatz, Görlitz

The Görlitzer Postplatz was and is one of the most important squares in the city of Görlitz, even if it has lost some of its external glamor since its redesign in 1938 and of its importance since the changes in building functions in recent times. It has developed from the cattle pasture into a central square, which the royal-Prussian and later the imperial-German post office, the court and representative civil buildings gave its frame. Different designs of the green area with the Toberenz fountain, affectionately called Mushelminna by the people of Görlitz, in the center has experienced different versions. The publication is based on a garden conservation study, the aim of which is to find the shape of the square in the future.

In 1951, Postplatz was renamed “Liberation Square”. This sparked jokes, as the prison behind the court now had the address Platz der Liberation 18.

A very beautifully landscaped place in the middle of Görlitz. There are some cafes where you can stop and relax for a while. In addition to the impressive post office building, you also have a very beautiful view of the Görlitz Frauenkirche.

The Postplatz is a "link" between Görlitz's old town and Görlitz's shopping street.
