New security measures, scheduled for the holiday near Brandenburg gate, stem from concerns about sexual assault.
A large number of women's attacks and plunder at the New Year's Eve in Kiln, two years ago, have shocked Germany.
Hundreds of women have reported being attacked by men of immigrant descent.
Over a million migrants, mostly from Syria and Iraq, arrived in Germany in 2015.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend this year's New Year's festival in Berlin.
Women who were attacked or harassed could seek support in the safe <x0) area”, where the German Red Cross personnel will be.
The city police also encouraged women to seek help if they feel threatened.
