Siemensstadt
Siemensstadt (German: [ˈziːmənsˌʃtat] ⓘ) is a locality (Ortsteil) of Berlin in the district (Bezirk) of Spandau.
The locality emerged when the company Siemens & Halske (S & H), one of the predecessors of today's Siemens, bought land in the area, in order to expand production of S & H and their subsidiary Siemens-Schuckertwerke (SSW) as well. On the initiative of Georg Wilhelm von Siemens, S & H started to build new factories in 1899. Soon also residential buildings were erected. The locality was incorporated into Berlin on 1 October 1920 by the Greater Berlin Act.
During World War II, Siemensstadt was the location of a subcamp of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp for men and women, mostly Hungarian Jews, but also Bulgarians, French, Italians, Yugoslavs, Dutch, Poles, Czechoslovaks, Russians and Ukrainians.
Siemensstadt is situated on the eastern side of the Spandau district. It borders Spandau (locality), Haselhorst, Tegel (in Reinickendorf), Charlottenburg-Nord and Westend (both in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf). The Großsiedlung Siemensstadt is situated close to Siemensstadt but in Charlottenburg-Nord.
Siemensstadt is served by the Berliner U-Bahn line U7 at the stations of Paulsternstrasse, Rohrdamm and Siemensdamm.
