Adlershof, Science and technology district in Treptow-Köpenick, Germany.
Adlershof is a science and technology district in Treptow-Köpenick in southeastern Berlin that spans about 4.2 square kilometers and combines research facilities, educational institutions, and residential areas. The district features a network of laboratory buildings, office spaces, and public green areas that connect its various functional zones.
The district began as Germany's first airfield in the early 1900s and played a major role in aviation history. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, it transformed into the country's most important science and technology park.
The district serves as a meeting place for researchers, students, and residents who gather in exhibition spaces and public areas to exchange ideas and collaborate. These shared spaces shape daily life and create a sense of community built on knowledge and innovation.
The district is accessible by S-Bahn with direct connections, and multiple bus lines link it to central Berlin, with trains running every 10 minutes during peak times. Visitors should note that the area is spread out over a large expanse, so it's best to focus on one or two zones on foot.
The area hosts over 1,200 companies and six research institutes, making it Germany's largest technology park by number of organizations. Despite its significance, it remains less known to many visitors compared to other Berlin destinations, though it is actively used every day.
