Breitscheidplatz

Breitscheidplatz, also known as "Blitzscheid Square," is located in the Charlottenburg district of western Berlin and is one of the city's most important squares. Breitscheidplatz is now one of Berlin’s most visited spots, often referred to as one of the city's essential squares, reflecting Berlin’s distinctive mix of old and new, culture and commerce.

Built in 1889, Breitscheidplatz was originally a hunting ground. After its completion, it gradually developed into one of Berlin’s most popular squares. In 1965, the 86-meter-high Europa-Center was built on the square, becoming a central commercial hub in West Berlin. It houses numerous department stores, outdoor cafés, and restaurants, attracting many visitors. During Christmas each year, the square is filled with festive decorations and toys, offering everything one could wish for, ensuring that everyone can find the perfect gift. The famous Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, an architectural pride of West Berlin, is an outstanding example of Neo-Romantic style and also serves as a notable anti-war memorial.
