The place was named on 27 November 1864 after the village of Nollendorf near Petrovice in the present-day Czech Republic, a site of the 1813 Battle of Kulm where the united forces of the Sixth Coalition defeated a French army under Dominique Vandamme. The victorious Prussian troops were led by General Friedrich von Kleist, who in turn was elevated to a "Count of Nollendorf" by King Frederick William III. The adjacent Kleiststraße leads from Nollendorfplatz to Wittenbergplatz in the west.
The extended square was laid out according to the Hobrecht-Plan of 1862, then part of a larger road link from Charlottenburg through Schöneberg to the Berlin district of Kreuzberg in the manner of a Parisian boulevard, named after victorious Prussian generals . During the Wilhelmine era, in 1902, the first Berlin U-Bahn line was inaugurated, which ran under the Kleiststraße pavement up to the elevated railway at Nollendorfplatz station, built according to plans designed by Cremer & Wolffenstein architects.
