The square was constructed between 1877 and 1878, as part of the development of the area. There was placed an intersection of current Piastów Avenue, Krzywoustego Street, and Sikorskiego Street, and around them were constructed lavishly ornamented tenements with electricity. It was named the Schinkel Square (German: Schinkelplatz), after Karl Friedrich Schinkel, a 19th-century architect.[1]
Additionally, next to it is attached the garden square, known as the Janina Szczerska Square (Polish: Skwer im. Janiny Szczerskiej). It is located between, Pistów Avenue and Sikorskiego Street, and Pułaskiego Street.[2]
