Oranienplatz is a square in Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany.[1]

From 2012 until 2014 it was the site of the OPlatz (Oranienplatz) Movement pro-immigration protest encampment. In 2025, another protest was held there in reference to the previous one.[2] Other protests also regularly occur in the area. The website oplatz.net lists over 1,500 protests (some being duplicates, in English, German and Turkish of one another) dating back to 2012.[3]
