Potsdamer Platz is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“Filming locations in Germany included the Olympic Stadium, Potsdamer Platz, Internationales Congress Centrum Berlin and Messe Berlin in Berlin, and the Leipzig/Halle Airport in Schkeuditz.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Potsdamer Platz as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
- Captain America: Civil War 2016

Octopussy
1983
“Other locations from the city included Spandau Prison, the Brandenburg Gate, and Potsdamer Platz.” Wikipedia
Named here by Potsdamer Platz’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Potsdamer Platz, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Cabaret 1972
“A short distance away stood portions of the former Hotel Esplanade, including the Kaisersaal, used at various times as a much scaled-down hotel, cinema, nightclub and occasional film-set (scenes from Cabaret were shot there).” Wikipedia
-
Wings of Desire 1987
“Some scenes of the 1987 Wim Wenders movie Der Himmel über Berlin (English title: Wings of Desire) were filmed on the old, almost entirely void Potsdamer Platz before the Berlin Wall fell.” Wikipedia
