    After the redesign of the square, it enjoys new charm with its nice cafes. In the middle of the Place d'Austerlitz there is a bronze 3D relief by the German artist Egbert Broerken. It shows Strasbourg city center in small format and is labeled in Braille. The name of the relief: "Point de Convergence" refers to the city of Strasbourg, which has always been a place of convergence or confluence.

      The square was built in 1771 and was called "Place Dauphine" at that time, after which it became "Place d'Austerlitz" in 1837, then "Metzgerplatz" in 1871 and then the name "Place d'Austerlitz" followed again in 1918. The square is called in imitation of the victory over the Russians in Austria.Napoleon left this place in the 1805 campaign.
