Tour Total Berlin, Modern high-rise building in Europacity district, Berlin, Germany
The Jean-Monnet-Tower is a 69-metre office high-rise at Jean-Monnet-Straße 2 in Moabit, north of Berlin Hauptbahnhof. Its light-coloured grid facade consists of about 1,300 concrete elements in K-shaped modules and T-elements, mirrored and offset to create a plastic relief. The two-storey base has colonnades on the north side and before the south main entrance.
This building was constructed between 2010 and 2012 and became the first completed project in the large-scale Europacity development plan. Its completion marked the start of transforming this area into a mixed-use district in Berlin-Mitte.
The tower's name changed with its tenant: after TOTAL became TotalEnergies in May 2021, the illuminated logos on the north and south facades were replaced in 2022. In spring 2026 the owner renamed the building Jean-Monnet-Tower, after the street it stands on, which honours the European integration pioneer Jean Monnet.
The building sits near Berlin Hauptbahnhof station, making it easy to reach by public transport. A two-story arcade at ground level connects different public areas and provides covered passages through the site.
The faceted concrete piers of the facade are designed to catch light and shadow in different ways, making the building's appearance shift throughout the day. This geometric detail keeps the structure visually interesting from different angles and times of day.
