Berlin, the united German capital has a huge boom of skyscrapers constructing in the last years,
The tallest structure in the city is still from Soviet time, but city is more and more building its new face - with skyscrapers and Extra-ordiner architectural buildings like the Reichstag Dome.

Berlin sucks!!!

Berlin will get a "real" skyline, if the projects at Alexanderplatz will be realized:

Yeah, there is hardly a skyline in Berlin. But there are a few nice skyscraüers at Potsdamer Platz:

What I personally like about Berlin is that the city just offers everything! There are quarters with wounderful expensive houses, there are quarters with hugh ugly appartement blocks, there are parts with great historical buildings but on the other hand some very modern architecture. There are crowded streets but also nice rivers and even pleasent beaches at some of the lakes in Berlin.

Surely an exciting city!

8/10

oh dear. 3

6.5/10


the city is great, but not much a skyline.

Berlin is a really interesting city, but its skyline is very dissapointing...
My verdict is 5/10 + 0.5 for TV Tower - overall 5.5/10

For me Berlin is ::happy: :dizzy: :) :master: :D :nuts: :cool: :dooby:

I'm living in Berlin and i say: Berlin has no skyline!
Yes, there are some nice clusters which could be interesting for a 200.000-city, but they can't create a skyline for Berlin.

No skyline, but the city is beautiful
6/10

Berline is a nice city

I think I have to bring out the guns in order to raise points for Berlin,the previous pics looked depressing to me...

Alexander Platz Skyline by 2010

Berlin is great..
But there are no qualities in highrises..
But there is much space for those i think and also many plans..
Fact is that East-Berlin is the ugliest part of all cities I've seen in my live... one ugly communist-block next to another!
I cant understand how anyone could plan that!
But I give it a 9 because i love Berlin!!

5.5 for a skyline,-1.0 because of not rebuilding gestadkirche,so 4.5

5/10 I can´t call it a skyline, but Berlin is a nice historic city and it has its value

6/10 The skyline is not that great, but the city is very nice and I´m sure that the downtown it will grow

7.5

As a city it gets a 10 without doubt, probably my favourite city in Europe. So much happening everywhere there, Potsdamer Platz has come up out of nowhere in the last 6 years or so, that part is a beautiful though small skyline. Alexanderplatz has a gritty urban feel to it and I like it, although I am really looking forward to the new developments to come. As it now stands, the skyline is a bit too dispersed, although the cluster is dense and has some nice height. I hope in future some more height is added....

Berlin is an amazing city with (like Stockholm) lots of different skylines and city centers!
These are night pics from the main three:

Alexander Platz with Fernsehturm, hotel Park Inns skyscraper and Haus des Reisens etc.

My note is 8,5
Berlin is beautiful city like Warsaw (Warshau), but his skyline is poorer than in my city. Potsdamer Plaza is great place, and all of Berlin is cool :)

I like this city!

See you!!!

Berlin is an amazing city, truly one of the most outstanding cities of europe but it has no skyline.
But I'm pretty sure it will have one when they finish with the alexanderplatz proyect (10 150m) ;) :rock:

When you compare Berlin with HK or NY you would actually have to give it a 1 or a 2.. :bleh:

But even without a great Skyline Berlin is a really fascinating place.

this city is very amazing... dont have a good skyline but the buildings are very interesting. :okay:

What happened to Reichstag?

Why did they modernise the buiding like that?

Can anyone enlighten me and show me pictures of it?
Thanks. :)

http://www.kulturplanung.de/Bilder/Reichstag%2011.jpg

http://www-rnks.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/icnp2004/images/berlin/max/reichstag.jpg

So why they do this to such a beauty?

Don´t know, sorry. But actually most people think that the new architecture of the Reichstag is quite beautiful, a succesful project. A modern element was integrated in the historical building without destroying its character - the dome is a real tourist attraction today - and the Reichstag is now a modern, practical parliament building.

10/10

6.5/10

Berlin is a city with such history that amazes me. Being able to blossom and be a beautiful city despite the shameful past, the bombings... the name itself already is worth it. In terms of skyscrapers I give it a 5 (I just love Potzdamer Platz). But overall it is a 8. The city is fabulous!

Amazing city...

great city, nice skyline, 8.5/10

Hey guys I'm a big fan of Berlin,too. But i have to say that the skyline isn't really beautiful. And this will not change in the early future because the city hasn't any money to build new buildings. Just for information: Berlin has nearly 35 billion € debts.

Disappointed with its skyline, it looks quite flat and not much, but it is another country and I can understand that. 5/10. Probably a great city, though.

There are no skyscrapers in Berlin apart from that observation tower. Very uninspiring -- 6

Ok, what are we rating here? Skyline? The city as a whole? What?

Skyline 5/10 there is no skyline, sorry.

But the skyline is neither tall nor dense.

city itself: 9.5/10
skyline: 6/10

9/10- although berlin doesn't have a skyline, i gave it a 9 because berlin is just an awesome.

how can you say that berlin doesn´t have a skyline. a skyline is not ever with skyscrapers.

thats my favourite pic

The skyline isn't really impressive...

Poor skyline, but one of my favoutite cities in the world!
Great people, nice atmosphere, nice buildings.

Greetzzzz XeloS

Amazing buildings, but the skyline is still a little sparse. In a few years I think it could easily be a 10.

9/10

awesome.

10/10

Berlin does not deserve more than 7, it has alot of nice architecture, but not a very good skyline overall. It looks like a really nice city to live or visit though. Mabye once i finnish school. :cheers:

Anyway though I give the skyline a 7, but the city should get a 9.5 or 10!

yes, alot more....but the chances to get a few skyscrapers above 150m are very very small :(

7/10

Boomy Berlin. There'll be about some hundreds of huge skyscrapers around the Alex and the TV tower, so I guess I have to rate the future skyline. Since there's none these days.

I'd say easily worth a 10/10. In 10 years. Or 10 centuries.

4 there is no skyline

Berlin most probably poses a difficult skyline to capture it from the best angle. Anyway, my vote is 9/10.

Ich liebe Berlin!

We know.

I have so much love for Berlin -- I have only been there once, for a week, but I felt totally taken away by this city like no other I have visited.

I want to be a part-time Berliner ;)

Love Berlin, however the skyline is not so impressive. High quality buildings though.

8.5/10

7.5, clearly need more skyscraper, but i love Berlin sometimes we not only need high skyscrapers but great architecture too right

Berlin doesn´t need a "real" skyline...it has got all kinds of architecture, so many sights, a fascinating history and so on..

I know the feeling mate!
Berlin has a completely unique athmosphere that captures you.
It has a quite a good skyline too from different angles.
Darlings like these are of course some of the dominating rises:

8/10

Street-level, Berlin is magnificent, you can feel its power, its glory. But whenever I see an aerial shot, very few things stand out. Although Berlin doesn't "need" skyscrapers, I'd love to see them being built. Maybe it's just my whisfull thinking.

From some angles you´ll get a sense of the cityscape:

Berlins got a great skyline especially from the Reichstag at night, also the dome on the Reichstag is awesome, nice city Berlin.

8/10.

6/10 good

5/10

Being located on flatlands and having only few landmarks Berlin
doesn't make an impressive skyline.
Despite that it's a great town with top class architecture,
fantastic parks and booming alternative scene which all
together place the city above other with 'better' skyline.

Berlin hardly has a skyline but it's a great, fun city and I want to return soon!

10!!!
I'm glad it doesn't have a skyline! I do not support the Americanization of our cities. it makes them dull and uninteresting.
In my favourite hood, Kreuzberg they didn't have a MCDonalds until recently either. Isn't this the coolest thing ever?

I can´t stand americanization either.
I´m glad to say that here in Stockholm we have no KFC or Starbucks at all.
Very few Subway and Burger King because they simply aren´t good
and nothing compared to absolutely excellent swedish equivalents

Workuta is much cooler!

Just you wait and see! :)

I'm not impressed by the pics but I know Berlin has more to offer, so 7.

I have to say i prefer Berlin to Paris its just cos Berlin has got an essence that i cant describe and the skyline is 7 and the city 9.5 so its a 9.

the city itself is beautiful, but that needle is just horrendous in my opinion :ohno:

I prefer Frankfurt... but I give it 9... Berlin ist eine wunderbare Stadt!!!!!!!!!

the last picture is also the best, since the neddle ain't in it!

Nice city, but not much of a skyline. 6/10

for such a proud/smart people you would think they would have built some impressive towers since the wall coming down. 6/10

6/10.

Unlike some here, I actually like the needle and it seems to have some great architecture. Unfortunately, this is about skylines, and there really isn't one here.
But, since it's a European city, I'll give it some slack...they have high NIMBYs there.

Don't get me wrong, I have heard great things about Berlin. Seems like a cool city.

7.5/10 ;)

no skyline 2/10

The city is amazing and the needle is so berlin... Love it!!!

Honestly, I love Berlin and in terms of lifestyle, culture and quality of life, it'd score best, but this skyline isn't worth more than 6/10.

+0,5 for the future projects and the general variety of the city, so that'd be 6,5/10.

Oh, and could some mod please link those massive pictures properly? (I mean indirectly). They fuck up my computer every time.

nice skyline.. 7/10

10 from israel:)

great city but bad skyline. 6/10

city 3/10
skyline 1/10

:rofl:

Btw: 6/10 for the skyline

Berlin: probably the most overrated city in Europe.

Skyline very very disappointing for a city that big :ohno:

The skyline is no more disappointing than Paris or London IMO. European cities aren't made for the American style skyscraper CBD cluster.

I certainly don't think Berlin is overrated either, it's a great city and probably my favourite out of all that I've ever been to (including those two mentioned earlier)!

^^ dont care about those Berlin-haters... we know better. Its amazing, that Berlin is the most popular german-speaking city in the world, but when asking (west) Germans, you'll get answers full of envy or even hate. I ceased to care about these venom-spitting vipers or how I like to call them: Provinzdeutsche :D

If you are looking for a real city, then check out Tokyo, New York City or Shanghai. These cities got something to be jealous of.

See the difference? :)

The only European cities are Paris, Moscow and London.

I love Berlin!!, Especially TV Tower.

I'm into this picture of Berlin:

Berlin doesn't have a massive, dazzling skyline but indeed, not every city has to have one. I've never considered Berlin as a "silhouette city", in my opinion Berlin is a perfect example of a street level city. And yes, a city can very well be urban without orgastic high rises.

10/10

berlin is perfect as it is.
it already has a very interesting cityscape. what do i need more?

A skyline does not make a city. In terms of urbinity I prefer European midrise to masses of highrise surrounded by single story sprawl for miles like many "high rise cities".

It's a personal preference!

For me a skyline doesn't have to mean height. I adore European cities for their old time, clustered density. Perfection.

A skyline does not make a city.

Exactly!!!

10/10

I don't care about Berlin's skyline (it's not that impressive), but the city is great !!!

:okay: :master: :wave:

I agree with that very much.

Exactly!!!

That's a nice Berlin pic. Hope they get some more skyscrapers in the future. No need for supertalls but two nice and dense clusters would be good.

6/10

Okay, this is JUST MY opinion, but I don’t understand why people on here think Berlin “needs” more skyscrapers. I mean it’s a European city and that why people love it. If I want to see skyscrapers, then Berlin is not the place I’m going to go. Also, I don’t think a forest of skyscrapers suits Berlin. It would over power the lovely, smaller building left in its shadow. Actually, if I had my way, most of those taller buildings wouldn’t be there. I’d prefer all the buildings be of similar heights, and for conform to the style and dimensions of the other buildings. But again, that just me!

8/10 :)

8.5/10 good skyline!!

Potsdamer Platz is impressive.

8,5/10

Yes, but this is the "Rate our Skyline" section of the site, not "How much I enjoy a city's historic cityscape".

5/10

Berlin ist die schöne Stadt.
Erinnert euch, dass das ist Europa. Die Hälfte war ZSRR. Ich glaube, dass das ist die herrliche Hauptstadt des Europas. Die schöne Stadt. Die niedrige Bebauung kann, aber nötig nicht größer. Die schönen Gebäude, die Sauberkeit und die Klasse.

Ich begrüße.:)

10/10


Berlin is a beautiful city. Remember that it is Europe. :)
The half was a ZSRR! :(
I think that it is wonderful capital of Europe. Beautiful city. Low buildings maybe:), but aren't needed there higher. Beautiful buildings, the cleanness and the class.
I am greeting.

10/10 ofc

very historic, i have been there once, beautiful city, but by terms of the skyline i give it a 1/10 there is almost nothing there

8/10. :)

8.5 because is a great city!

6/10

it looks like a great city

but skyline.....................8

Berlin is a great city! Glad I visited it :D

7/10 Potsdamer Platz is underratet, its very nice looking, but Berlin needs more.
First, Berlin has no Skyline like London or Paris because Frankfurt is the financial city in Germany.

Berlin is a great city, it has something that not much citys have. Its a great mixture between old and new, between east end west.

they should concentrate the highrises in one area. 5.

7/10- but I don't like most of the skyline off Potsdamer Platz

One simply has to ask the question of "what is a skyline"? If by skyline you mean "highrise" then sure, Berlin is disappointing. However, skyline means more than that and I happen to quite enjoy dense midrise skylines with spires and occasional buidlings poking out all over the place than your average new world city with a section of highrise surrounded by absolutely nothing but single level blergh like I said before.

I spent a week in Berlin, and I have to say that it's much better in person than in these pictures. Potsdamplatz is very nice, although it doesn't fit in with the rest of old East Berlin very well. Nonetheless, the architecture of the city is very nice (except for the apartment commie blocks).

The view from the TV tower is great... especially when eating breakfast up there. :D

Wow, I like this one. 10/10 for Berlin. 100% more urban than lots of cities around the world which have 20 buildings on the downtown but sprawl everywere around. I like european cities style :)


europene skylines suck

Comments like this suck. Maybe an "I don't like europene [sic] skylines" would have been a better option.

Berlin looks amazing on the photos above. Nice skyline :)!

wow berlin is great... wide avenues, big park in the centre that's incredible...the "flat" buildings reminds me a lil bit Moscow or Paris sometimes... it's a unique mix i though...i'd love to see more skysrapers at the Postdamer Platz or around... i think that's the perfect place for such structures.

Berlin is vast, huge and truly impressively diverse.

10/10

In my opinion a city skyline is successful if it shows an evolution. Berlin is not New York or Dubai.......Nor should it be. It has had a great history, including mayhem by humans. Like a tree that has been badly pruned it recovers recreating major limbs then sprouts new branches, leaves and over time becomes grand again. I am lucky to have spent three weeks in Berlin and viewed the skyline from the Tower in Alexander Platz, The glass dome of the Reichstag and the man made mountain ? beyond the Olympic stadium plus many other vantage points. Berlin is unique and should be proud of that. Evolution.......give it time !

Winterly skyline of East Berlin / Berlin-Mitte :)
