Afrikaans

Kerkplein is die historiese sentrum van Pretoria, Suid-Afrika by die kruising van Kerkstraat en Paul Krugerstraat.

Kerkplein is in 1855 opgerig toe President van die Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek Marthinus Wessel Pretorius die stadsbeplanners, die broers Devereaux, aangesê het om 'n plein vir mark en kerkgang doeleindes te ontwerp. Die plein is aanvanklik ook as 'n sportveld gebruik en die verspringer Izak Prinsloo het in 1883 die eerste wêreldrekord deur 'n Suid-Afrikaner hier opgestel. Die eerste kerk op die plein is in 1857 voltooi. Nadat die kerk in 1882 afgebrand het is 'n tweede Gereformeerde Kerk in 1884-85 gebou. Dit is weer in 1904-05 gesloop nadat die kerk die plein in 1899 aan die ZAR regering verkoop het wat dit weer 1905 aan die stadsraad oorhandig het. 

Een van die vernaamste kenmerke van die plein is 'n standbeeld van die Boere-leier en president van die Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek Paul Kruger in die middel van die plein. Standbeelde van onbekende Boere burger-soldate omring Kruger se standbeeld op 'n laere vlak van die voetstuk. Die standbeeld is in 1896 in opdrag van Sammy Marks deur Anton van Wouw geskep. Van Wouw se standbeeld van Paul Kruger het eers voor Prinsepark en later voor die Pretoria Stasie gestaan. Dit is in 1954 na Kerkplein geskuif en op 10 Oktober 1954 deur Suid-Afrika se Eerste Minsiter D.F. Malan onthul.

English

Church Square (English) or Kerkplein (Afrikaans), is the historic centre of the city of Pretoria, South Africa.

Church Square was established in 1855 when the then President of the Z A R, Martinus Wessel Pretorius, approached the town planners, the Devereaux brothers, to design and establish a square for market and church attendance purposes. The Church Square was also used as a sports field from time to time. The long jumper Izak Prinsloo was the first South African to attained the world record there,  in 1883. The first church was built and completed on the square in 1857, which burnt down in 1882. A second Refomation Church (Gereformeerde Kerk) was built in 1884 - 85. this church was demolished in 1904 - 05, after the church sold the square in 1899 to the then ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK Government, which was then handed back to the city council in 1905.

One of the most familiar landmarks of CHURCH SQUARE is the statue of the then Boer leader and President of the ZAR, PAUL KRUGER, which stands in the middle of the square. The statue was commissioned in 1896, by the prominent SAMMY MARKS, a formost industrialist and friend of Paul Kruger at the time. the Artist Anton van Vouw was the commissioned sculptor. The sculpture was moved from the Pretoria Station in 1954 on the 11th October, to CHURCH SQUARE, and unveilled by the First Minister of South Africa D F Malan.
