Siemensstadt

Beyond the Spree, massive red brick buildings rise out of the ground, each five to ten-storeys tall and several hundred metres long. A shipping canal leads up to the plants and countless railroad tracks cross the wide terrain. This is Siemensstadt—a tract of land first developed by Siemens & Halske in the 1900's. The famed “German engineering” keeps this place operational and in business. The factories employ thousands of workers, manufacturing all manner of appliances.
The aesthetics of Siemensstadt harken back to the Industrial Revolution. The buildings loom—with their soot-lined walls and rows of tiny, identical windows, framed by the harsh line angles of New Objectivity architecture. Of note is the Siemens administration building, and nearby, the clocktower called Siemensturm. The Wernerwerks, numbered from I—XV, are the factories of the Siemens Company. They are named after their founder, Werner von Siemens.

====Siemens Research Laboratory====
*Status: Industry
*Science 2
Siemens Forschungslaboratorium, as it is known, is a U-shaped building on Wernerwerkdamm, close to the Siemens administration building. It is six-storeys in height and constructed from red brick. The vertical extensions of the “U” are about 50-metres long. 
The research laboratory operates closely with the Siemens administration. Their main function is quality control and monitoring production, and maintenance of test and calibration equipment.
