Kollhoff Tower

Kollhoff Tower is a high-rise at Potsdamer Platz with a dark brick facade and a tapered shape that stretches across 25 floors. The building stands out for its refined form and carefully crafted exterior.

The tower was built between 1995 and 1999 on former Berlin Wall territory, marked by rows of cobblestones at its base. This location made it a symbol of the city's rebuilding after the wall fell.

The building shows how Berlin transformed after reunification, with modern design becoming part of the redeveloped Potsdamer Platz area. Visitors can sense how the city rebuilt its identity at this location.

An observation deck on the 24th floor provides city views and is reached by one of Europe's fastest elevators. The deck helps visitors get their bearings and spot major landmarks across the city.

The building has green roofs on its lower sections and a glass-enclosed cafe at the summit with views of both historic halves of the city. From this height, you can understand the spatial divide that once shaped the city.
