Europacity: a new district

10 years ago the Europacity area to the north of Berlin’s main railway station was still a barren wasteland. The urban policy and the demands on new buildings and neighbourhoods have changed completely during this time. The Europacity is therefore often disdained as a “dumping ground for concrete gold”. But it is worth taking a closer look at the new buildings and open spaces: Directly at the railway station KPMG’s new headquarters will soon be completed. The landmark with a corrugated glass and ceramic façade by architects Allmann Wappner will act as the entrance to the new district. Together with the existing Total Tower and the 50 Hertz building they form a striking trio. Also the waterfront buildings behind Hamburger Bahnhof, the Golda-Meir-Steg
at the neighbourhood square by relais landscape architects are better than their reputation. Especially the new buildings between the railway line and Heidestraße showcase sophisticated architecture. On our guided tour you can learn interesting facts about the background and the individual buildings and get your own impression.
