Current building projects
Since 1991, a sustainable urban space characterised by business and science has been created on an area of 460 hectares in the Adlershof/Johannisthal urban development area. Numerous construction projects have been realised as part of an overall urban development concept.
Even today, new buildings are being constructed in Adlershof that are continuously developing and advancing the location.

By the early 2030s, a new urban quarter with 2,200 flats and commercial facilities will be built on the site of the former “VEB Kühlautomat” between Segelfliegerdamm, Groß-Berliner Damm and the Johannisthal Landscape Park.
History in a nutshell
Most Johannisthal residents probably associate the area on Segelfliegerdamm with VEB Kühlautomat. Between 1950 and 1996, refrigerators, cooling systems for ships and diesel engines for railway and shipbuilding were produced there. But as early as 1909, the entrepreneur and visionary Arthur Müller (1871-1935) opened Berlin’s first civilian motorised airfield here on former forest land. Later, he also had aircraft manufactured here by the Luftverkehrsgesellschaft, which was founded in 1912. A total of 5,640 aircraft left the hangars not far from today’s Segelfliegerdamm.
