Pavillon der Einheit

Pavillon der Einheit is a hexagonal structure at Potsdamer Platz featuring curved roofs and detailed ornaments that reflect traditional Korean architectural styles. The building sits within a busy commercial area surrounded by shopping centers and office complexes.

The pavilion opened in November 2015 to commemorate 25 years of German reunification and 70 years of South Korean independence. This timing marked a significant moment in bilateral relations between the two nations.

The pavilion hosts Korean musical performances, art exhibitions, and cultural events that draw visitors from both nations. The space enables encounters between German and South Korean communities interested in traditional Korean arts and contemporary culture.

The pavilion is easily reached by public transit to Potsdamer Platz station, located near shopping centers and pedestrian areas. The site is well accessible and situated in a district with numerous nearby attractions.

The building was modeled after Seoul's Sangnyangjeong pavilion from Changdeokgung Palace, merging Eastern and Western design languages. Sections of the former Berlin Wall remain in the surrounding area, serving as reminders of the city's divided past.
