Description: View of Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, on Leipziger Straße, after 1924 (the light tower in the middle). The Palast Hotel is on the far left, with Leipziger Straße stretching away into the distance and Leipziger Platz on either side of it. Just down there on the left is the Wertheim Department Store. The traffic light tower can be seen standing on the elliptical island in the middle of the road, it was created from the german architect Jean Krämer. Karl Schinkel’s Doric temples lie just beyond it, facing each other across Leipziger Strasse. The large building to the right is the Hotel Fürstenhof, with the southern portion of Königgrätzer Straße stretching away. Down there to the right is the Anhalter Bahnhof. Just out of the picture to the right are the Haus Vaterland and Potsdamer Bahnhof
