Potsdamer Platz used to be the busiest intersection in Europe.
Potsdamer Platz has always led the way as the epicenter for change. Once the busiest junction in Europe and staging the fall of the Berlin wall, the stunning heritage buildings continue to provide a backdrop for Berlin’s most progressive businesses, creators and innovators.
The busiest traffic junction in Europe with its first traffic light; a hub of food, drink and culture.
Almost completely destroyed during World War II, Potsdamer Platz becomes the 'border triangle' where the Soviet, British, and American sectors met.
Construction of the Berlin Wall; Potsdamer Platz forms part of the 'no man's land' border zone between East and West Berlin.
The fall of the Berlin Wall; a makeshift border crossing at Potsdamer Platz is created just days after the wall is reopened.
Four major developments reclaim the area – Daimler City (1998), The Sony Center (2000), Beisheim Center (2004), Leipziger Platz (2000s).
Oxford Properties acquires The Sony Center and sets a new vision for the future of this Berlin icon.
The Sony Center becomes home to the Nike Experience Hub, Trek's flagship cycle store and Frederick's stunning restaurant, plus Oxford Properties completes the first major lobby transformation.
The end of an era – after 23 years the naming partnership with Sony ends. The building becomes temporarily known as "The Center Potsdamer Platz."
Oxford's focus on wellbeing and sustainability comes to life in the form of extensive new landscaping, a huge underground cycle hub and the fitness zone.
