AEG factories at Humboldthain
AEG factories at Humboldthain, Industrial heritage complex in Mitte, Germany.
Description
The AEG factories at Humboldthain are a large industrial complex from the 19th century that spans several streets and features buildings with red and blue brick walls. Today the Technical University of Berlin, technology companies, and media businesses use these spaces as offices and laboratories.
History
The complex was founded in 1894 and quickly grew into one of Berlin's largest industrial sites. The factory shaped the city's development into a world-known center for electrical engineering.
Culture
The factory buildings reflect Berlin's transformation into an electrical engineering hub and show how industrial architecture looked during that era. The red and blue brick walls shape the streetscape today and recall the craftsmanship of that period.
Practical
The site is accessible via Brunnenstraße, Gustav-Meyer-Allee, and Voltastraße and can be explored on foot. Some buildings can be viewed from the outside, though access to active university and company areas may be limited.
Did you know?
The Beamtentor, a gate from 1896, is the oldest surviving structure from the original complex. This solitary entrance gate shows the craftsmanship and durability of industrial architecture from that time.
