Lutheran Square is located in the Moskovsky district of Minsk, within the boundaries of Kupriyanova, Karl Liebknecht, and Domashchevsky Lane. The square was named in 2009 when a new public space was created on the site of the Lutheran Cemetery, which was demolished in the 1970s.

The history of this area is closely connected with the German population of the city. In the 19th century, there was a Lutheran cemetery here, which gave the name to the entire district—Pleshchanka—which was also referred to as the Lutheran Suburb at that time. The cemetery served as a burial place for the German community of Minsk, which was mainly Lutheran.

Particular attention is drawn to the memorial marker in Lutheran Square, installed in 2019. It represents a book and symbolizes the multinational and tolerant past of Belarus, where there has always been room for hardworking people of different nationalities.

Lutheran Square is an important historical and cultural landmark in Minsk, preserving the memory of its multinational past and the history of the city’s German community.

路德教广场位于明斯克的莫斯科区，位于库普里亚诺娃街、卡尔·李卜克内赫特街和多马舍夫斯基巷之间。该广场于2009年命名，当时在1970年代拆除的路德教墓地的遗址上建立了一个新的公共空间。

这个地区的历史与城市中的德国人口紧密相连。19世纪时，这里曾有一个路德教墓地，这也成为了整个区域——普列什昌卡的名称，而当时这个区域也被称为路德教郊区。这个墓地曾是明斯克德国社区的埋葬地，主要由路德教徒组成。

路德教广场上的纪念标志，安装于2019年，特别引人注目。它呈现为一本书，象征着白俄罗斯多民族和包容的过去，在这里总有为各个民族的勤劳人民留出空间。

路德教广场是明斯克一个重要的历史和文化地标，保存着这座城市的多民族历史和德国社区的历史记忆。
