Berlin Blackout Emergency Map: Your Nearest Kat-Leuchtturm
Type your postcode and see your nearest Katastrophenschutz-Leuchtturm on the official Berlin list: which are ready to open, which are still planned, how far you would walk, and what the January 2026 power cut asked of people at home. Checked on 29 October 2026.
Only 25 of Berlin's 56 lighthouses are listed as ready. Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Neukölln, Pankow and Steglitz-Zehlendorf have none marked ready.
Find the emergency point a Berlin district would open in a long power cut, and check your home against the six days of January 2026.
What the map shows
Every emergency point on Berlin's official list of Katastrophenschutz-Leuchttürme and information points, coloured by status: ready to open when a crisis is declared, or still being planned. Type your postcode and the map draws the three nearest ready points with a walking time, and warns you when a planned point is closer.
How to use it
Type your five-digit postcode, or tap one of the examples, and press Show my nearest points.
Read the nearest ready points on the right. The walking time is the straight line plus a third, at 4.5 km/h.
Step through the six stages of the January 2026 power cut in the south-west and tick what you already have at home. The score counts the needs covered up to that stage.
Where the facts come from
The emergency points and their status come from the Berlin Senate list on berlin.de, checked on 29 October 2026. The timeline comes from the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district review of the January 2026 power cut, published in June 2026. District outlines: ODIS Berlin. Postcode centres: OpenStreetMap contributors.
