Quadratestadt (German: for "town of the squares") is the nickname of the German city of Mannheim.
Mannheim is unique among German cities in that its central area is laid out in a grid pattern (called "Quadrate", squares), much like many North American cities. The main route through the squares leads to the enormous 18th-century Mannheim Palace.
