The Derbyplatz-Brunnen in Osnabrück is a modern fountain constructed in 1978 by the city's former civil engineering department. Situated between the Alte Posthalterei restaurant and the Nikolaiort multi-storey car park, the fountain features a round, domed, and paved basin reminiscent of a hat brim. Twelve small fountains within the basin spray water towards its center, creating a dynamic and symmetrical water display.

The Heger Tor, also known as the Waterloo Gate, is a historic monument in Osnabrück, Germany, built in 1817 to honor local soldiers who fought in the Battle of Waterloo. Designed by Johann Christian Sieckmann, the gate resembles a triumphal arch and incorporates elements from the city's former fortifications. Today, it stands as a prominent landmark, symbolizing Osnabrück's rich history and serving as a gateway between the old town and the modern city.

Platz der Deutschen Einheit in Osnabrück is a central square situated directly in front of the city's historic theater, often referred to locally as the "Theatervorplatz" . Established on October 3, 2010, the square commemorates German reunification and serves as a vibrant public space for cultural events and gatherings .
