El Residenzplatz es más que una simple explanada: es el imponente vestíbulo urbano de la Residencia de Würzburg, diseñado originalmente como un espacio ceremonial que exaltaba el poder de los príncipes-obispos. Con el paso del tiempo, se transformó en un lugar público vibrante donde se entrelazan historia y vida contemporánea . En el centro de la plaza se erige el Frankoniabrunnen, una icónica fuente neobarroca inaugurada en 1894. Corona el conjunto una figura alegórica de Franconia, rodeada por esculturas de personajes históricos locales y conmemorando al príncipe regente Luitpold de Baviera . Este espacio también ha sido escenario de eventos memorables. En 2011, miles de fans se congregaron aquí para celebrar al jugador Dirk Nowitzki tras ganar el campeonato de la NBA . Además, a menudo alberga conciertos al aire libre y fue incluso decorado como escenario para la película Los Tres Mosqueteros en 2010. Los vecinos recuerdan aquellos días como un espectáculo poco común, con caballos, extras disfrazados y decorados de época ocupando su plaza habitual. Muy cerca están también algunos rincones contiguos como el Hofgarten (jardines de la Corte) o el Museo Martin von Wagner.
