Potsdamer Platz
Highlight • Monument
Potsdamer Platz is a square-like traffic junction in the Berlin districts of Mitte and Tiergarten in the Mitte district between the old inner city in the east and the new west of Berlin. As a double-court facility, it adjoins Leipziger Platz to the west.
The Potsdam Gate was built in 1734 during the construction of the Berlin customs and excise wall. From the late 18th century, the Berlin-Potsdamer Chaussee (later Potsdamer Straße) began there, which was an important link in the network of Prussian state highways. The green area to the west of the gate, the square in front of the Potsdamer Tor, received its current name in 1831.
With the Potsdam long-distance train station, the underground station and the numerous tram and bus lines, Potsdamer Platz was one of the busiest squares in Europe until the end of the Second World War and was therefore one of the first traffic lights on the continent with the traffic tower at the end of 1924. In the first 40 years of the 20th century, the square and the streets leading from it were a popular meeting place for Berlin's political, social and cultural scene.
After the end of the war, Potsdamer Platz formed a "border triangle" between the Soviet, British and American sectors in the divided Berlin. From August 1961, the Berlin Wall ran across the square, which for almost three decades eke out a marginal existence as inner-city wasteland. After the opening of the Wall on November 9, 1989, a new situation arose: early in the morning of November 12, a section of the Wall was cleared at Potsdamer Platz and a provisional border crossing was created.
