Indoor navigation with free WLAN
In actual fact, this announcement would not have been worth mentioning. After all, it’s available elsewhere as well.

KG in Adlershof has been providing WLAN access free of charge for the forum around the con.vent Center and the bistro Esswirtschaft. During their midday break, for example, employees and students in Adlershof can then... [more]

Facilitating arrivals
Public transport connection is a decisive factor in the development of any new urban district. Thanks to the opening of the new bridge across Rudower Chaussee with its modernised tracks for longdistance and S-Bahn trains as well as the extension of the tram line, the prospering business, science and media location of Adlershof can now be easily reached both from Berlin‘s city centre and the future Berlin Brandenburg Airport “Willi Brandt”....

Energy self-sufficent townhouses
“No power connection and no more expenses on oil and gas,” says Karl-Heinz maerzke, board member of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG, describing the aim of his latest project. By this he is referring to energy self-sufficient townhouses which, besides having the capacity to store thermal energy in a large water tank hidden inside, can also store electricity with batteries. This vision is now being realised in Berlin, too. The first solar houses will be... [more]
"Wohnen am Campus" - A new concept of urban living
The development of the new residential area in the heart of Adlershof is making good progress, supporting the uptrend in rental housing construction. Living close to your workplace or training centre is an evident trend of the time. In Adlershof, the city of science, economy and media, 22,000 people are working or going to college. While transport connection and local infrastructure are excellent, there are not enough apartments available yet.... [more]
Businesses from A to Z
Adlershof offers a surprisingly broad range of services, a fact which will surprise many of its detractors. Oh, I know, my dear colleague, you don’t like to be convinced. And I shall admit: technology parks are not exactly bustling with life. You complain: “No action here at all! Nothing but concrete jungle, and no fancy Italian restaurants.” People expect a lot these days. Which is why, here in Adlershof, it is not only the hard facts that... [more]

The team at Forth Dimension Displays (ForthDD) were delighted to... [more]
Girls, Girls, Girls
Roberta-Robot bolts across the table – first forward, then around a corner – just as the earlier programming during the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften (Long Night of the Sciences) told it to. This night is just over and once again the little robot left lasting impressions on people – also on girls, like Luisa Jahn reports. They assemble the car out of many Lego-bricks and then they teach it to drive by means of intuitive image-driven... [more]
Cash for calculus
A quote attributed to the Greek mathematician an physicist Archimedes reads, “There are things which seem incredible to most men who have not studied Mathematics.“ The others are the ones studying it: at the Mathematische Schülergesellschaft “Leonard Euler” (Mathematical students society). The society attracts many young people. Dealing with this popularity requires creativity, not only in math, but also in fundraising. In early June, more than... [more]
The learning factory
„A child is like a scientist. They create tasks for themselves and search for solutions. They are able to learn by themselves.“ The kindergarten „Campus Adlershof“, which opened last year in November, lives by this basic idea of progressive educationist Loris Malaguzzi.In a knowledge-based society like ours, independent learning is more important than ever before – this is not just the case in childhood, learning is a life-long effort. Germany‘s... [more]
Don’t be shy now: Social media technologies for senior citizens
Luise Schmidt is 68 and has a heart complaint. She likes knitting and lives alone.

With userbased procedures like these, the scientists intend to find out how man-machine interfaces, or so called graphic user interfaces, must... [more]

All-clear for Adlershof’s new residential area "Wohnen am Campus"
