Siemensstadt (German: [ˈziːmənsˌʃtat] ⓘ) is a locality (Ortsteil) of Berlin in the district (Bezirk) of Spandau.
History
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.[2]
Geography
Siemensstadt is situated on the eastern side of the Spandau district.
