The Center at Potsdamer Platz (formerly Sony Center) is part of the architectural ensemble at Potsdamer Platz.

The Center at Potsdamer Platz – Berlin’s vibrant heart for entertainment, culture, and innovation at the historic Potsdamer Platz.

The Center at Potsdamer Platz – Where Berlin’s history meets modern entertainment.

Seven buildings, arranged around an open forum with a spectacular roof, offer plenty of space for art and culture, work, living, entertainment, and gastronomy.
The oval forum, designed as a public urban space, forms the central point of The Center at Potsdamer Platz. It is a popular venue for large-scale events such as product launches, film premieres, and sports, art, and cultural events.
Within the forum, you’ll find the German Museum of Film and Television, which invites visitors on a journey through more than a century of German film history. Numerous first-class restaurants invite you to linger, and the "Legoland Discovery Center" offers fun for the entire family.

The Sony flagship store spans four floors, showcasing the wide range of products from the eponymous company.

The Center at Potsdamer Platz is a must-visit for all Berlin visitors and the first destination for film enthusiasts.

A Brief History of The Center at Potsdamer Platz

Potsdamer Platz, pulsating since the 1920s, was almost completely destroyed in the Second World War, divided after the construction of the Berlin Wall (with video) in 1961, and then moved to a wasteland between East and West. The modern ensemble of the Sony Center, designed by the Chicago-based German star architect Helmut Jahn, was built on this historic site.
The tent-shaped white roof construction represented a spectacular engineering achievement and should resemble the Japanese mountain Fujiyama.
This extremely complex construction project took three years to complete. The entertainment area of the center was opened on January 20, 2000. It still fascinates its visitors every day with its impressing modernity.
