The center of the Berliner Platz is the replica of a Prussian milestone; The pedestrian axes run towards these, the approx. 50 trees are also fixed on it.
The twin cities of the city of Bocholt (north side) are listed as well as Bocholt's honorary citizens (east side) and the geographical data of Bocholt (south side) on four writing tablets in the base of the "obelisk", as it is called simply in the vernacular. This plaque is also dedicated to Berlin, Berlin is exactly 470 km away from the location of the milestone.

There are four inscriptions on the base of the obelisk. One of these plaques is dedicated to Berlin.
Berlin is exactly 470 km away from the location of the milestone.
This stands at a height of 24.95 meters above sea level.
The then mayor of Berlin, Eberhard Diepgen, personally inaugurated the square in 1985.

For a long time, Berliner Platz was a "symbol of post-war urban development" and was characterized by sober reconstruction. When it was to be redesigned in 1984, it had to be taken into account that it would be used as a fairground, as a meeting place and also and above all as a parking lot.
