The Bahntower, also called the Deutsche Bahn Tower, stands at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin and was designed by Helmut Jahn. Deutsche Bahn developed it. Sony was the original owner and Morgan Stanley is the current one. Construction began in 1998, and it was completed and opened in 2000. The article names no style or materials.

It has 26 floors, a 94 m roof, a 103 m antenna spire and 22,000 square meters of floor area. It is the tenth-tallest building in Berlin. The 2008 purchase of the Sony Center together with the tower was worth €600 million, but the article gives no construction cost.

Glass panes fell from the facade in 2007, 2008 and 2016. The tower also appeared in a 2016 Lego Architecture set. The article says nothing about public access or hours.
