BahnTower

The BahnTower is a modern high-rise with 26 floors of glass and steel at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin-Mitte. The building was constructed on this busy plaza and houses office spaces and corporate headquarters.

The building was completed between 1998 and 2000 and initially served as the headquarters of Deutsche Bahn railway company. It changed ownership multiple times afterward, eventually becoming the property of a South Korean pension fund.

The tower is part of the modern business world at Potsdamer Platz, where visitors can see the architecture that emerged after Berlin's reunification. It stands among other high-rises that have shaped this busy plaza into a contemporary commercial hub.

The high-rise sits directly on Potsdamer Platz and is easily accessible by public transport, as it stands in an area with many subway and train connections. The surroundings offer many shops and restaurants where visitors can take a break.

The tower was long the home of Deutsche Bahn railway and is thus closely linked to Berlin's post-war rebuilding story. Visitors can view it from outside and see it as a striking landmark in Berlin's modern skyline.
