Bosch Forced-Labor Camp Memorial Site (1941–1945/2006)
Remembrance of war crimes
From 1941 onwards, there was a barracks camp for forced labourers from Dreilinden Maschinenbau GmbH, a subsidiary of the Bosch Group. Civilian forced labourers and prisoners of war from various occupied countries were housed here. After the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, over 700 Polish women from the Ravensbrück concentration camp were added. Crammed together in one of the factory basements, these women had no contact with the other forced labourers in the barracks camp. A total of 2,600 forced labourers from all over Europe had to manufacture aircraft parts for the German Air Force here. After the end of the war, the structural evidence disappeared. In the 1990s, committed local historians and the Berlin History Workshop devoted themselves to the process of coming to terms with the past. This memorial has commemorated the camp since 2006. Bands of Corten steel trace the contours of two camp barracks.

Checkpoint Bravo – the former Drewitz-Dreilinden border crossing
Border checkpoint
The free exhibition about the complicated history of the border crossings between West Berlin and the GDR is run by Checkpoint Bravo e.V. From 1948 onwards, the GDR set up military-run border checkpoints around West Berlin. The commander's tower is the last remaining evidence of the Drewitz border crossing point. Opposite in Dreilinden, the Western Allies processed military transports at Checkpoint Bravo from 1969 onwards. The striking facility consists of a bridge house for customs, petrol stations and a rest area. Twenty years earlier, Checkpoint Bravo was in Berlin-Zehlendorf, where the Reichsautobahn crosses the Teltow Canal. After the Wall was built, this checkpoint was located on a West Berlin peninsula, surrounded by the GDR. After the border check, the vehicles drove through GDR territory again before reaching the city limits. To avoid this, the GDR moved the motorway eastwards and Checkpoint Bravo to Dreilinden.

Dreilinden Maschinenbau GmbH (1935–1945)
Secret armaments industry
Without Bosch alternators, starters and injection pumps, hardly any aircraft of the German Air Force could fly in World War II. The engine parts that are important for the war effort are produced in a well-camouflaged factory with the deceptive name Dreilinden-Maschinenbau GmbH. Secret production on the outskirts of the city began as early as 1935. At the end of the war, forced laborers made up more than half of the 5,000 employees. The company increased its turnover 47-fold in ten years. The facility here is just one of twelve such shadow factories around the then capital of the Reich, Berlin. After 1945, the Soviet occupiers blew up the production halls. The GDR's Central Biological Institute moved into the preserved entrance building in 1952. After reunification, the Federal Biological Institute for Agriculture and Forestry took over the premises - today's Julius Kühn Institute. Since 2003, a plaque has commemorated forced labor at Dreilinden-Maschinenbau GmbH.

Energy Museum Association (since 2001)
Historically charged
The political reunification was followed in the 1990s by the electrical reunification of the power grids. The Steglitz power plant was shut down, and with it the battery storage facility, which had only been completed in 1986 and was then the world's largest. The Berlin Energy Museum has been located in the old battery storage facility since 2001. Touching, trying things out and learning is expressly encouraged here. One highlight is the model of a gas and steam power plant that visitors can drive themselves. Anyone who has questions about heat pumps, fuel cells or wind power will find answers here. How long this will last is uncertain, however: the building in which the museum is located is to be demolished to make way for a new grid hub.

Goerz Works (1917)
Fine optics for heavy guns
The Goerz company, founded in 1890 and one of the largest manufacturers of cameras, optics and precision mechanics in the German Empire, also produces target finding technology for the military. This factory complex, including a railway connection, port and factory settlement, was built in the middle of the First World War. The Treaty of Versailles forced a realignment. After the merger with the Jena Zeiss works in 1926, the company manufactured cameras, studio technology and locking systems. The successor company, the Swedish Assa-Abloy Group, still produces locking technology on the neighboring property today. Since 2015, the Goerz factory has been transformed into a commercial center for start-ups, manufacturers and culture.

Persecuted pioneers of radio
The brothers David and Siegmund Loewe initially named their company Radiofrequenz GmbH in 1923. In 1924, production moved here to Steglitz. Its groundbreaking electron tube quickly made the Loewe OE 333 one of the best-selling radio receivers in the German Reich. Immediately after the Nazis seized power, the Jewish-Christian family was slandered in smear campaigns, and the now renamed Loewe company was expropriated in 1938 and later renamed Loewe-Opta. Radio production in Steglitz ended in 1979. The traditional manufacturer is now a global company with headquarters and production facilities in Kronach.

Port Steglitz
Leisure captains in the industrial port
With its ports and loading facilities, the Teltow Canal drives the development of the region forward, as hoped. A total of 15 port facilities are built from 1901 onwards, including four larger branch ports in Britz-Ost, Tempelhof, Lichterfelde and here in Steglitz in 1906. With the construction of the Steglitz power plant, the port becomes an unloading station for hard coal, later for heavy oil. Oil tanks dominate the port landscape until the 1970s. After the power plant goes offline in 1994, the port is transformed into a water sports and leisure location.

Steglitz Power Plant (1911–1994)
High voltage for Berlin and Hollywood
The Teltow Canal creates the technical conditions for the power plant designed by Hans Heinrich Müller: hard coal comes in barges, cooling water from the canal. In the 1930s, electricity and district heating are produced here - for the first time in Germany - using efficient combined heat and power. During the Cold War, the site had to remain innovative in order to supply the power island of West Berlin, which was cut off from all grids. The city's first gas turbine was followed in 1986 by what was then the world's largest battery storage facility. Nobody suspected that energy production here would end with reunification in 1994. Today, Stromnetz Berlin still operates a substation on the site. The empty halls are often used as film sets, including for parts of the Matrix saga. The Energy Museum has been telling the story of Berlin's energy supply in the former battery storage facility since 2001.

Teltow Industrial Museum
From the steam engine to digitalization
The Teltow Region Industrial Museum has been telling the story of the economic boom that began with the construction of the Teltow Canal since 2005. The museum is located in the rooms of the former VEBzähler und Apparatebau Teltow. AC meters were manufactured here, among other things. The most recent exhibition area focuses on digitalization and the current challenges facing industrial society. As an information center for career and study orientation, the museum also brings young people together with 200 regional industrial companies every year.

The Goerz Railway (1905–2018) / AG Märkische Kleinbahn e.V. (since 1981)
At 45 km/h to the Schönow industrial area
With the founding of the Zehlendorfer Eisenbahn und Hafen AG, an investor wanted to develop his commercial areas. In 1905, the first trains rolled between the Zehlendorfer Stichkanal and the Lichterfelde West station - pulled by horses. Steam locomotives were not used until 1915. The Goerz company took over in 1918. From then on, the Goerzbahn transported not only raw and building materials but also its own employees. Plastic parts for the Cologne Ford works will continue to travel here until 2018. After that, the route will no longer be in operation. The museum railway operation of the AG Märkische Kleinbahn e.V. is paused because the ownership of the route has not been clarified.

The Prisoners' Pillar – Memorial Site of the Lichterfelde Subcamp
The Prisoners' Column
The construction of the Lichterfelde concentration camp subcamp takes place in full view of the public from 1941 onwards. The prisoners have to build barracks, buildings for the camp management and an SS construction yard. The camp on Wismarer Strasse at the corner of Teltowkanal is one of around 80 subcamps of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. The 1,000 to 1,500 prisoners from almost all occupied European countries move through Lichterfelde on foot and by S-Bahn and tram to their work assignments throughout Berlin. They do forced labour for ministries, SS and police departments under miserable conditions. They are also exploited by private companies, such as Telefunken in Lichterfelde. Since 2000, the Prisoners' Column has reminded people of their fate.

The Siemens Villa
Two industrialists, one mansion
Friedrich Correns made his money as commercial director of Accumulatorenfabrik AG. With its VARTA batteries, the company initiated the first boom in electromobility at the beginning of the 20th century. Thanks to good connections to the imperial court, Correns had the best building materials for his prestigious mansion at his disposal despite the First World War.
In 1925, Werner Friedrich von Siemens purchased the property. Large parts of the interior furnishings have been preserved in their original condition.
Since 2012, two private universities have shared the premises.

The Telefunken Plant in Zehlendorf (1937–1940/2000)
Nazi armaments factory becomes a residential complex
From 1903, competitors AEG and Siemens developed innovative radio and communications technology in the joint Telefunken Company for Wireless Telegraphy - also for the military. In 1940, the Wehrmacht financed the merger of the scattered production sites on one factory site. The functional, modern building complex for 6,000 employees was designed by the architect Hans Hertlein. A clock tower marks the administration wing. The huge asphalt area in front of it is part of a city ring planned by Albert Speer for the world capital Germania. After 1945, the US Army made the complex one of its bases. American GIs now marched on Speer's city ring. From 2000, apartments were built in the former barracks, and the long blocks of buildings were raised by one floor. Half of the former parade ground is to be unsealed as a climate compensation area by 2025.
