As a real estate market, the Adlershof location has long left behind its phase of becoming established. Adlershof is a known name, both nationally and internationally. The predominant part of new real estate, however, is being built by own occupiers, so potential investors are still looking for a critical number of marketable products suitable for the investment market. When the BBI Airport is inaugurated in mid 2012, the demand for office and... [more]
A brand world that can be experienced: Interview with Markus Siebrecht of the Audi AG
ADLERSHOF SPECIAL: Audi invests more than € 30 million. Why? MARKUS SIEBRECHT: Adlershof is an excellent location, also and in particular because of BBI Airport. At the same time we believe that there will be a growing demand...
ADLERSHOF SPECIAL: Audi invests more than € 30 million. Why? MARKUS SIEBRECHT: Adlershof is an excellent location, also and in particular because of BBI Airport. At the same time we believe that there will be a growing demand here for vehicles, no less fuelled by the Technology Park and the companies established and working here. Adlershof will become a so called flagship Audi Centre in eighteen metropolises in Germany. What are we to... [more]
A market place full of opportunities: Newly completed Forum Adlershof – communication and event centre
When asked by business partners about the exact location of his office, Gerhard W. Steindorf used to explain in a somewhat roundabout way that it was “located in the building right next to the Dorint hotel”. As of now, giving...
When asked by business partners about the exact location of his office, Gerhard W. Steindorf used to explain in a somewhat roundabout way that it was “located in the building right next to the Dorint hotel”. As of now, giving directions will be much easier for him: With the Forum Adlershof, Adlershof Projekt GmbH’s place of business, now has a prestigious counterpart – and Adlershof a new, attractive centre. Nearly one hundred years old, the... [more]
LUM sets benchmarks in analytics of fluid particle separation
Keynote lecture about sedimentation and consolidation of suspensions on ECFPS 2010
The first European Conference on Fluid Particle Separation (ECFPS) will take place in Lyon from 5-7 October 2010, organized by the French Fluid Particle-Separation Society (SF2P) veranstaltet. The scientific committee has invited Prof. Dr. Lerche, Managing Director of LUM GmbH, to give a keynote lecture on the sedimentation and consolidation behaviour of suspensions in the centrifugal field. Besides theoretical approaches, own research results... [more]
Fuelling, version 2.0 – ideas in the field of electromobility
The era of crude oil as a fuel is coming to an end, and the demand is for alternatives with less impact on the environment and the climate. Accordingly, Adlershof companies are testing today their mobility concepts of...
The era of crude oil as a fuel is coming to an end, and the demand is for alternatives with less impact on the environment and the climate. Accordingly, Adlershof companies are testing today their mobility concepts of tomorrow. The greenery on the roof of Solon SE, a photovoltaics company, presents a view of the charging station “Yana”, twelve solar modules that inexorably follow the path of the sun. They are connected to a so called redox flow... [more]
Solar cells with greater efficiency: So who needs ultrapure silicon?

Adlershof is a significant location for energy research – for instance, climate friendly power generation with solar cells. The price for photovoltaic power generation does not ultimately depend on the production costs for its solar cells. The so called wafers, the high purity silicon blanks from which the cells are made, are very expensive. “For a long time their production required silicon that was really meant for microelectronic...

Energy project in a glasshouse: Eco friendly CHP
What’s Adlershof doing with 2000 cubic metres of hot water? This isn’t bubbling from a hot spring, but is filling five gigantic heat reservoirs of the new Energy Centre in Adlershof. At its inauguration, the operator BTB set an...
What’s Adlershof doing with 2000 cubic metres of hot water? This isn’t bubbling from a hot spring, but is filling five gigantic heat reservoirs of the new Energy Centre in Adlershof. At its inauguration, the operator BTB set an example for the economical and ecological generation of heat and power. This combined heat and power (CHP) plant located between Albert-Einstein-Strasse, Ernst-Ruska-Ufer, and Wegedornstrasse is not really new, but was... [more]
A little power for a lot of light: How Adlershof wants to get in on the LED boom
Insiders all agree that LEDs (light emitting diodes) will supersede the classical forms of lighting over the medium term. According to ZVEI, the central association for the German electrical and electronics industry, this...
Insiders all agree that LEDs (light emitting diodes) will supersede the classical forms of lighting over the medium term. According to ZVEI, the central association for the German electrical and electronics industry, this technology is on the verge of a breakthrough, and the market in Europe is predicted to grow to about €1.9bn by 2015, over six times its present volume. “There is indeed a vast market potential for LED illumination,” explained...

With innovative radio modules, the high tech company lesswire has banished cable clutter from our normal working days. This makes life easier and provides for new applications, from onboard internet in cars to the comfortable operation of the local CHP plant. This innovative powerhouse, though, still lies coverless next to the desk of a developer at lesswire AG. Here, on the eighth floor of 16 Albert-Einstein-Strasse, the finishing touches are... [more]
Adlershof solar power plant: From testing ground for solar installations to respectable power supply
The new solar cells on the roof of Studio H were the crowning achievement: now numbering twenty one, the photovoltaic installations in Adlershof together generate far in excess of 1 MW of electric power under the maximum solar...
The new solar cells on the roof of Studio H were the crowning achievement: now numbering twenty one, the photovoltaic installations in Adlershof together generate far in excess of 1 MW of electric power under the maximum solar irradiation – a scale also on a level with conventional smaller power plant. What began as a testing ground for solar cells has now evolved into a serious factor in the supply of power to Adlershof. The solar cells in... [more]
Strength in unity – the new Berlin Solar Network

The Berlin Solar Network first saw the light of day in July. The purpose of this association is not only to promote corporate cooperation, but also to demonstrate to political leaders the consequences of cuts in solar subsidies for Berlin companies. “It all began when the solar companies in Berlin opposed the cuts in buyback prices at the end of last year,” explained Dagmar Vogt, Chair of the Network and founder of vogtgroup. Despite... [more]
Power and fuels from sunlight: When is the postfossil age due?
At present, fossil fuels still contribute over 80% of the power generated in Germany. In the process, too much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, damaging the climate. A reversal has been tabled, but what’s the...
At present, fossil fuels still contribute over 80% of the power generated in Germany. In the process, too much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, damaging the climate. A reversal has been tabled, but what’s the energy mix going to be in the year 2050? Professor Wolfgang Eberhardt presents a variegated bouquet of possibilities for the energy mix of the future. The physicist and Scientific Director at HZB, the Berlin Helmholtz Centre... [more]
Dr. Florin Popescu
Engineer and brain researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Architecture and Software Technology FIRST
There, as a postdoc, he's doing research on theoretical questions about machine learning. Seen very practically, his work might one day help people who are paralysed from the neck down, because of a disease for example. These so-called Tetraplegics have no voluntary control below the neck level. Which means that outside of speech, eye movements and their normal brain activity, there would be no way for them to control a prosthesis, even if... [more]

“Curious”, he replied when asked to describe the initial period in retrospect. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in autumn 1989 it quickly became clear to the qualified engineer Fred Enz that his employer, the East-Berlin Institute of Automation in Adlershof, would soon be liquidated. Today his engineering office has five employees and a long list of successful projects in the field of measuring and control technologies. At about the same... [more]
