Named for the city of Potsdam where it led to, Potsdamer Platz is a square in Berlin. But it isn’t just any square. This place is deeply important to and inextricably linked to the history of Germany. It was razed to the ground during the Second World War but has risen from those ruins.

It now is a very busy traffic area in Berlin. Huge sky scrapers align it and it is a hub for all things Berlin. There are several shops, bars and restaurants that operate on it. This makes it a busy tourist destination. The most striking of all the buildings that make the Potsdamer Platz definitely is the Sony Center. It is popular with the locals as a meeting point too. It is today the heart of a metropolis that quite like the Platz is full of history and a tragic past.
