Biggest construction project in Europe, the Potsdamer Platz should become the new city centre of Berlin in years to come.
This is a direct hint of Potsdamer Platz's history. Berlin's first railway station once stood here, as did the Fatherland House, and many pubs dance halls. It was a pulsating part of Berlin, a crossroads of tram and bus lines, and the location of the first traffic lights outside the USA. But this is also the place where Hitler's bunker once stood, so at the end of World War II the entire area was bombed and completely destroyed. For decades, this area was wasteland, a hollow gap in a divided city. In front of Potsdamer Platz's station, you can still see the first piece of wall that was removed in 1989.
