The history of the Berlin site is closely linked with the history of the Siemens parent company. The "Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Siemens & Halske" company was founded in Berlin-Schöneberg in 1847.[1] In 1887, it moved to Spandau, which became a district of Berlin in 1920, to accommodate an expansion of the plant.[2] Siemens not only built new production buildings, but also housing for the workers, a railway line and supply facilities. In 1914, this complex was given the name "Siemensstadt". From 1925, electrical home appliances were also mass produced here. After 1945, key production areas were relocated to West Germany. By 1953, however, home appliances were already being produced again in Berlin.[3]
