"Alexanderplatz" is a central square in Berlin, an important transport hub and one of the emblematic sights of the German capital. It has a rectangular shape and is located in the historic district of Konigstadt. The square got its name in honor of the Russian Emperor Alexander I, during his visit to Berlin in October 1803. After the Second World War, in the period 1966 - 1970, as part of the East German Main Guard, the square was expanded and new buildings constructed. A hotel with a height of 123 meters appears, a huge store, a teacher's house, and then a television tower, which becomes a symbol of the city. In 2006, the main construction of the square began.
