The Jorge Gomondai Square is located between Hauptstraße and Albertplatz in the Inner Neustadt. It has been named after Jorge Gomondai since 2007, a Mozambican who died on April 6, 1991 at the age of only 28 as a result of a racially motivated attack. Just a week before, he had been threatened by a group of right-wing young people on a tram and then, for unexplained reasons, fell from the moving train.

Since 1993, a memorial stone on the square and a plaque on the former residential building in Holbeinstraße have been reminding people of the young Mozambican.

In addition to the Gomondai memorial stone, on the edge of the square is the Schiller monument by Selmar Werner (popularly known as “Schiller in the bathtub”) and water features at the end of Hauptstraße.
