Schöneweide Walk of Fame

At 20 stations, you can use the viewing tubes to look at historical photos of industrial landmarks. Oberschöneweide is considered the cradle of Berlin’s electrical industry. Wilhelminenhofstraße has been the lifeline of the neighborhood ever since.

At each viewing tube, you’ll see a photo that symbolizes “fame” and is closely connected to the building across the street. The QR code attached to each tube provides plenty of interesting facts about the location. The open-air exhibition is open through October 4.

Accompanying the Walk of Fame, an exhibition at the Industriesalon Schöneweide offers in-depth insights into the former hub of Berlin’s electrical industry. There you’ll also find information about the companies operating there today.

In 1895, Germany’s first three-phase power plant went into operation here. Right next door, cables were shipped all over the world, and twelve years later, electric cars rolled off the assembly line. Berlin, the “Elektropolis,” produced great inventions, famous physicists, and world-renowned products. Today, research, art, and innovation are moving into these industrial landmarks.

This event is part of the Berlin Industrial Heritage Festival.
