Description
Potsdamer Platz and the New Centre
After lying desolate for decades, except for the platform that allowed Westerners to peer over the Wall into the East, Potsdamer Platz is again part of Berlin's thriving centre - in the 1930s, it was the busiest square in Europe. In just a few years, the forest of cranes has given way to a new precinct full of shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. The best place to see it all (as well as terrific views over the rest of Berlin) is from the Panorama-Point, at the top of the Kollhof building, reached by what is claimed to be one of the fastest lifts in Europe.
One of the more interesting constructions is the SonyCentre, with its piazza covered by a futuristic sail-like roof. On the ground floor is the FilmmuseumBerlin, which recalls some of the city's great achievements in the early days of cinema and devotes considerable space to Marlene Dietrich.
