Sony Center is a complex of buildings located in Potsdam Square in Berlin, Germany. It opened in 2000 and is the site of Sony's German headquarters. The site was originally a bustling downtown in the early 20th century. During World War II, it was the site of the Nazi People's Court. Most buildings were destroyed or destroyed during World War II, and from 1961, much of the area became part of the no-man's land of the Berlin Wall, resulting in the destruction of the rest. The square was once again in the spotlight after the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, as its attractive location suddenly emerged in the heart of Europe's major capital, the Sony Centre, built as part of the reconstruction of the area. It contains shops, restaurants, conference centers, hotel rooms, luxury rental suites and apartments, offices, art and film museums.
