Panoramapunkt Berlin

This guide to Panoramapunkt Berlin opens with a helicopter over Potsdamer Platz on July 15, 2010, lowering a genuine piece of the Berlin Wall onto this tower, and traces what that square looked like in the decades the Wall stood: a death strip of weeds and watchtowers where one of Europe's busiest intersections had been. It follows the square's rebuilding into Europe's largest building site after reunification and architect Hans Kollhoff's 1999 tower. Look out over Potsdamer Platz below as you listen.
