Adlershof – a clever success story
Editorial by Andreas Geisel, Senator for Urban Development and the Environment
Adlershof Berlin is a success story. Primarily, the location stands for many great minds who have made a name worldwide in the fields of science, research and technology. This is associated with innovation and entrepreneurship – a place to learn, experiment and grow. The Humboldt University offers its students in Adlershof modern conditions for research and teaching. Incubators and the willingness of well-established partners to form networks help young entrepreneurs to realize their own ideas.
This success does not just happen. It is rather the product of long-term commitment and sustained investment to be pursued with clear objectives. Since the beginning of the development projects and land sales follow specifid subjects and high urban quality standards. That’s not always easy. Ultimately, this resolute perseverance pays off, however. Meanwhile, every day nearly 16,000 people come alone to work in Adlershof. The location is easy to reach. So, people are increasingly discovering the quality of living in the city of science. With the Rudower Chaussee Berlin Adlershof has become a vibrant center.
The Adlershof Projekt GmbH, the urban development agency of Berlin, and we, the Senate Department for Urban Development and Environment have early set the course for new residential construction and can already meet the increased demand. The new residential area between the campus of the Humboldt University and the landscape park is growing rapidly. The versatile projects create room for diverse housing needs. Besides ecologically wise living standards also pioneering technologies are to facilitate the people’s everyday life. Together with Adlershof Projekt GmbH we are committed to continue with a lot of passion and open up additional building plots for wise investment – including residential part.
Berlin Adlershof has become a guarantee for the growth of innovative and successful companies. It pays to invest where research and production, as well as working and living are writing a success story.
