More than 500 kilometers in length, this was the longest connection in Europe. A large percentage of the lines were to be laid underground to protect against attacks. Werner Siemens used the rubber material gutta-percha to develop seamless insulation for this purpose.<ref>Siemens AG (Ed): 150 Jahre…“) |

[[ | In addition to communications technology, Werner Siemens succeeded in laying the cornerstone for electrical engineering with the discovery of the dynamo-electric principle in 1866. This dynamo for the first time allowed mechanical energy to be converted cost-effectively into electricity. The machine was the trigger for a series of other groundbreaking Siemens technologies, including the first electrical railway, the first electrical street lighting and the first electrical elevator.<ref>Siemens AG (Ed): 150 Jahre Siemens, pages 12-13.</ref> | ||
As the popularity of electricity spread, there was increasing competition from other companies at the end of the 19th century. The "Deutsche Edison-Gesellschaft für angewandte Elektricität", which was founded in Berlin in 1883 and later became known as AEG, continued to pose serious competition until the mid-1990s. The competitor "Elektrizitäts-AG", formerly "Schuckert & Co.", on the other hand was already taken over by Siemens in 1903 and merged with its own heavy-current division to form "Siemens-Schuckert-Werke GmbH".<ref>Siemens AG (Ed): 150 Jahre Siemens, pages 30-31.</ref> | |||
