Potsdamer Platz


Potsdamer Platz is one of the most important Berlin attractions that draw tourists from all over the world. Once the crossroads of rail road networks, especially after the construction of the Potsdamer Bahnhof station, the original site of Potsdamer Platz was destroyed heavily during the Second World War. Old Potsdamer Platz is just part of the larger area that is presently known as Potsdamer Platz. Potsdamer Platz holds reminiscences of the rise and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

After a series of reconstructions and renovations, the site of the Potsdamer Platz has now become the site of modern architecture with numerous office buildings, swank in appeal and modern in decoration. Potsdamer Platz which was once a site of war holocaust,
became the center of real estate development once the Berlin Wall was broken down. It also houses some of the posh multiplexes and shopping plazas like Platz Arkaden. Some of the noteworthy buildings in the Potsdamer Platz include casinos and theaters like Theater am Potsdamer Platz.

Apart from the office buildings, the shopping plazas and the cultural centers, the Potsdamer Platz also houses some of the most renowned and luxurious hotels and restaurants like Hotel Esplanade and Emperors' Room. These have not only become the most suitable relaxation retreats for the tourists, but have also become the exemplary of modern architecture. Housing some of the unique buildings and structures, the Potsdamer Platz holds the spectator awestruck with its indelible and acute planning.
