The Sony Center Berlin is more than just another office and shopping complex: it's part of the Potsdamer Platz, the new city center of Berlin. The Forum in the center and its unique wing-roof is a popular place to meet, eat and relax. While the 94 meter high Bahn Tower on the east of the complex is an easy to see landmark, another part of the building hides a less visible secret: it combines the new building with the old Esplanade Hotel that was nearly destroyed during the Second World War and was a center for the Berlin society in the twenties.
