List of tallest buildings in Berlin
This list of tallest buildings in Berlin ranks skyscrapers and high-rises in the German capital of Berlin by height. The construction of high-rise buildings is not common in German cities and especially not in the city centres where traditionally steeples and domes are the tallest structures. The tallest structure in Berlin is the Fernsehturm Berlin, which rises 368 metres (1,207 ft). A cluster of high rise buildings is located at the Potsdamer Platz and in the Charlottenburg district. Currently there are four skyscrapers over 101 meters under construction and further planned to be built somewhere in the future.
