Berlin 3D - Download Portal
Since 2009, the Business Location Center in Berlin has been successfully using 3D city models to virtually represent the economic region of Berlin. Until 2018, a building-oriented LoD2 model of Berlin was used for 3D presentations; as of 2019, a 3D mesh model was used which was automatically derived from a survey flight.
As part of the Open Data Initiative of the state of Berlin, the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises has made both 3D models available to download for free.
