Esplanade
Esplanade comes from the French and originally meant a fenced, free-range area, in front of a citadel, which also served as a parade and weapon pitch. Like other open spaces of the fortifications, like the Glacis along the city wall, the Esplanade is free for urban development measures, and is used for parks, promenades, galleries and wide streets or for new buildings. For example, the name Esplanade bears the former parade fields in Paris and Riga as well as streets in Hamburg, Wesel, Berlin, Ingolstadt, Neumünster and Helsinki. Corfu, view from the Old Fortress to the Esplanade, the Old Town and the New Esplanade Fort, are also commonly called squares and promenades in front of a larger public building, later occasionally also in gardens; While in French, too, the aspect of the square prevails, the term "in English" means what the German promenade 'promenade' - 'promenade'.
