Deutsche Bahn Tower
Located on Potsdamer Platz in the heart of the city,
this impressive office block is part of the Sony Center
complex, the modernist symbol of the regeneration of
Berlin since German reunification in 1990.
With Berlin badly damaged during World War II and
divided by the Berlin Wall for almost 30 years, authorities
were determined that the regeneration of Potsdamer
Platz would re-establish it as a dynamic, modern
city. When Sony decided to erect its new European
headquarters in the square, the company employed the
renowned architect Helmut Jahn who designed an eye-
catching 338 ft. (103 m) semi-circular glass and steel
tower.
Opened in June 2000, the office is now home to Deutsche
Bahn AG, the German national railway company, and
is referred to as BahnTower. The building is the tallest
structure on Potsdamer Platz.
