AEG-Fabrikstadt

AEG-Fabrikstadt offers a fascinating journey back to Berlin's industrial past: You explore the AEG Tunnel, Germany's first subway tunnel, built in 1897 for electric trains to transport workers and materials between factory locations.

The tunnel is not only a technical monument but also a place full of history: During World War I, munitions were produced here, and in World War II it served as an air raid shelter. Additionally, you gain interesting insights into the development of the factory site and Berlin's industrial culture.

Especially exciting for children from 7 years old is the physical challenge: You walk through the partially restored, original tunnel with its tracks and conquer several steep staircases – making the experience vivid and adventurous. The cool underground climate (around 10 °C) enhances the atmosphere and provides a refreshing change.

Film fans will also be pleased: The tunnel was a filming location for the popular series "Babylon Berlin," linking history with pop culture.
