On this guided tour, you’ll experience this significant industrial area in transition—evolving into a dynamic hub for science, production, and art.
After an introduction featuring historical photos and background information in the Industriesalon, the tour begins: along the imposing industrial facades, testaments to Berlin’s “Elektropolis,” which once electrified the world.
