Walk to the end of a dead-end alley behind Potsdamer Platz and find a Cold War watchtower the developers forgot to demolish.

One of the few remaining GDR watchtowers, standing at the end of Erna-Berger-Strasse off Stresemannstrasse, hidden behind the gleaming new buildings of Potsdamer Platz. An easy-to-miss relic of the death strip, now wedged incongruously between modern glass offices. Free to view from outside.
