Alexanderplatz, Public square in Mitte district, Germany
Alexanderplatz spans across a vast area in central Berlin, featuring the television tower, modern buildings, and multiple shopping centers around its perimeter.
The square received its name in 1805 after Russian Tsar Alexander I visited Berlin, transforming from a cattle market into a central transportation nucleus.
The World Time Clock stands as a central meeting point where locals gather while displaying the time in 148 cities across different time zones.
The square connects multiple transportation systems, including U-Bahn lines U2, U5, and U8, S-Bahn trains, trams, and regional railway services.
In 1989, over 500,000 people assembled at Alexanderplatz to demonstrate for political change, marking a pivotal moment before the Berlin Wall fell.
