Noted of the location
yesterday, set construction for another filming spot in the Public Square of Cleveland, Ohio, is well underway for Marvel Studios'
The Avengers. While it was said the area is doubling for Stuttgart, Germany,
SHH and have posted images and vague details from the set prep. And courtesy of Cleveland local,
Dlayphoto, preparation is also underway nearby, with signage for Schloßplatztheater, which in reality is location in Berlin, Germeny. Anyhow, check it all out below.
Today they removed the State of Ohio and American flags and replaced them with the Civil flag of Baden-Wurttemburg with the crest of the City of Stuttgart in the middle, as well as the Greater State Service flag of Baden-Wurttemberg.
I have included photos, as well as an aerial shot with arrows indicating items which have been added to Public Square. The red arrows indicate new walls which have been built. The yellow arrows indicate items that have been added, such as the aforementioned Oktoberfest bars and potted trees. Most of the plants/vegetation has also been added.
Also, a source at the Renaissance Hotel, which is connected to the Terminal Tower, told me that there will be some explosions during filming in Public Square. He was told of this so that he could inform hotel guests.
UPDATE: And relating to another future filming location in Ohio, according to
Pop Up City, the lower level of Detroit-Superior Bridge will be used in the filming of The Avengers. And the "catacombs" on the west end will be the lair of the villainous Loki.

While Marvel is quiet on which stars would be included in the 'Germany' scenes, it'll reportedly be a night-shoot. And filming on the location commences Monday and will last at least a week.
