The square is situated at the former site of a reduit outside Copenhagen's East Rampart. A plan for redevelopment of the area was created when the city's bastioned fortifications were decommissioned in the 1850s. The site was initially intended for a new church but the Isaiah Church was ultimately built a little further to the west. The old site was instead laid out as a public space with the name Stockholms Plads. It was renamed Hjalmar Brantings Plads in 1925. [1]
The shape of the square has been determined by the shape of the bastion that was formerly located at the site and remains of it has been reused in the design of its central garden complex.
