Adlershof Journal March/April 2025

A changing tech oasis: This is how Adlershof stays on course for the future:

From the Editors

Travelling through time

You always meet twice in life. This also rings true for my relationship with Adlershof. When I started working at the Technology Park in the 2000s, my head unearthed an old memory: Just before the Berlin Wall fell, I had a school holiday job at the costume inventory of the East German television broadcasting company, which is still based at Adlershof today. After Saturday evening TV shows, mountains of costumes would return from the cleaners, and we sorted them into the never-ending shelves in the basement. I spent hours dusting off historical hats while set designers and props managers searched for the perfect pieces for upcoming film projects. Every morning, someone picked me up from the front gatehouse. On both sides of Rudower Chaussee—a gated community. No entry allowed.

After the Berlin Wall fell, the scene changed dramatically. The fences disappeared. The technology park developed rapidly: buildings with vast foyers sprang up, new research institutes settled in, and the streets became livelier as students from Berlin’s Humboldt-Universität moved to Adlershof. At some point, people said the campus had reached the so-called critical mass—a sufficient number, and a functional mix, of businesses, university and non-university research institutions, capable of growing independently and withstanding crises.

Countless economic crises and workplace transformations later, we know that even a concept like Adlershof needs support in the future. Support from people. Support that comes from tailored infrastructures and work environments. How can we continue telling this success story? This is the story behind the spring edition of Adlershof Journal.

Sincerely,

Peggy Mory
