The Europa-Center is a building complex with a striking skyscraper on Breitscheidplatz in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg. Built between 1963 and 1965, it soon became a landmark of West Berlin alongside the Memorial Church. With an eaves height of 86 meters, the office tower was the tallest skyscraper in the city for several years until the residential building at Fritz-Erler-Allee 120 in Gropiusstadt was completed. The entire complex is now a listed building.
Since its inception, the Europa-Center has undergone numerous renovations and modernizations to increase its attractiveness and thus its commercial success. The inner courtyards were roofed, and the artificial ice rink in one of the courtyards was abandoned in 1974.[4] The operators gave the following figures for 2005: around 100 shops and restaurants, between 20,000 and 40,000 visitors a day. In 2007, after extensive renovation work, the largest Berlin branch of the electronics chain Saturn, with 10,000 m² of sales space, was opened on the site of the former Royal Palast cinema. The Royal Palast, which opened at the same time as the Europa Center in 1965 and housed one of the world's largest widescreen screens (32 m × 13 m), had to close in 2004 due to the changing cinema landscape caused by large cinema centers.
In 2021, there were 70 shops with 80,000 square meters of sales space
