The Place Gutenberg is a small public square in Strasbourg, France. It is named for German inventor Johannes Gutenberg (c. 1400âÂÂ1468), who lived in Strasbourg in the 1430s and 1440s. A bronze statue of Gutenberg, the work of sculptor David d'Angers, has stood in the centre of the square since 1840. The square was formerly named the Place Saint-Martin.
The annual Fête des Imprimeurs, which showcases the trades which involve bookmaking, takes places in the square.
