The Berliner Philharmonie is a concert hall in Berlin designed by Hans Scharoun and completed in 1963, serving as the home of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Situated on the south edge of the Tiergarten near the former Berlin Wall and part of the nearby Kulturforum cultural complex, the building exemplifies rationalist architecture and stands as an architectural heritage monument. The concert hall comprises two venues: the Grand Hall, seating 2,440, and the smaller Chamber Music Hall with 1,180 seats. Though both halls were conceived together, the Chamber Music Hall opened separately in the 1980s, approximately twenty years after the main building's completion. The Philharmonie's location on Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße honors the orchestra's longest-serving principal conductor.
