An Irish tourist has died after falling from a window in Berlin on Tuesday night.

According to local reports, the 23-year-old woman fell from the seventh floor of a house on Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin Mitte.

She is understood to be from the Johnstown area near Naas in Co Kildare.

German police say the cause of the fall is not yet known.

Emergency services were alerted at around 4.20am local time after a female resident found the woman.

The young woman received medical treatment but efforts to revive her were unsuccessful and stopped after 30 minutes. 

A spokesperson for the fire department said a number of young people were staying in the apartment at the time.

It is understood three other Irish people were present in the building at the time and are now receiving pastoral care from the authorities, a spokesperson for the Berlin Fire Brigade said.  

German police say they are investigating the incident as is customary but do not suspect a crime has been committed.

The Department of Foreign Affairs says it is "aware of the case and providing consular assistance."
