VEB Kabelwerk Oberspree, Industrial heritage monument in Oberschöneweide, Germany
The VEB Kabelwerk Oberspree factory building stretches along the Spree River, featuring yellow brick walls and large industrial windows across its extended structure.
Founded in 1897 by Emil Rathenau of AEG, the cable factory operated continuously through different political periods until its closure in 1995 after German reunification.
The factory buildings represent the evolution of German industrial architecture, with designs influenced by Peter Behrens who revolutionized manufacturing facility layouts.
Parts of the former factory complex now house the Berlin University of Applied Sciences, while other sections serve as venues for events and exhibitions.
The factory's administrative and production buildings maintain their original architectural elements from 1897, including specialized spaces for cable manufacturing processes.
