Kollhoff Tower, Office tower at Potsdamer Platz, Germany
The Kollhoff Tower rises 101 meters into the Berlin skyline with its dark peat clinker brick facade and distinctive tapered shape across 25 floors.
Constructed between 1995 and 1999, the tower stands on former Berlin Wall territory, now marked by double rows of cobblestones at its base.
The building represents the architectural transformation of Berlin after reunification, integrating modern design within the redeveloped Potsdamer Platz district.
The observation deck on the 24th floor provides access via Europe's fastest elevator, reaching the top in 20 seconds at a cost of 6.50 euros.
The tower features green roofs on its lower sections and a glass-enclosed cafe at the summit offering views of both East and West Berlin sectors.
