Beatles Square is a public square in Hamburg's St. Pauli district, located where the Große Freiheit meets the Reeperbahn. It is circular, 29 meters in diameter, and has a black flooring reminiscent of a vinyl record. Silhouette sculptures of the five Beatles musicians (including Stuart Sutcliffe, whose sculpture was positioned slightly apart from the other four) are placed along the edge of the square. The figure of the drummer leaves it unclear whether this is the later, well-known Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, or Pete Best, who was active during most of the band's Hamburg period.

A circular area with a diameter of almost 30 meters was transformed into an oversized record – naturally at the end of Große Freiheit – into a giant vinyl record. The life-size metal outlines of the then five-member band at the edge of the square provide an ideal backdrop for souvenir photos. The fact that some people pose as Ringo Starr in silhouette, even though they're actually referring to Pete Best, drummer from the early days, doesn't really matter – as long as it's a Beatle!
