History of Potsdamer Platz

In the nineteenth century, Potsdamer Platz was home to some of the important cultural and commercial activities. The square still preserves a few of the remains of that time, which also includes the first manually operated traffic light in Europe. 

Once the war was over, the Berlin Potsdamer Platz was divided into two squares, namely West and East Berlin by the Berlin Wall. The Square was completely desolate for the thirty years during the separation period. 

When Berlin began restoring itself from the year 1990, the government started transforming the forgotten squares into the modern areas of the capital city, while constructing a series of landmarks, including the restoration of the Berlin Potdamer Platz.

The only building that survived the wrath of the World War II was the Haus Huth(Alte Potsdamer Strasse, 5). The building was six-storey kept standing tall probably because of its steel structure, which was absolutely revolutionary for its time.

The Berlin Potsdamer Platz is home to the remains of the Grand Hotel Esplanade, which is only the 10% that was saved. The Hotel was restored after the war and then abandoned after the Berlin Wall was built.
