Tucked into the city centre of Derby, Osnabrück Square is a pedestrianised public square within the DE1 2DS postcode district. Its name reflects Derby’s long-standing twin-town relationship with the German city of Osnabrück, and the square is sometimes written without the umlaut as Osnabruck Square. The pedestrian-only status and street lighting make it a practical and accessible space for people moving through the city centre on foot.
Location and Access
The square sits within central Derby, close to the surrounding streets and neighbourhoods that make up the city’s commercial core. Being pedestrianised, it is best reached on foot from nearby roads and public transport links that serve Derby city centre. The lighting along the square means it remains usable after dark, which is useful given the volume of foot traffic that passes through this part of Derby.
