In honor of the band, a square called Beatles-Platz was created at the intersection of Reeperbahn and Große Freiheit streets. It was created to commemorate Hamburg as an important place for the band on its way to international fame.
The square, marked out in a circle with a diameter of 29 meters, began to be built on 29th May 2008, and its construction took about three months. Its official opening took place on 11th September of the same year.
