Siemens AG helps shape the future in Berlin – it’s something they have been doing since 1847. Gas turbines, some bigger than a bus, are made in the Berlin suburb of Moabit for clients in 60 countries. The world’s biggest and most powerful gas turbines can supply roughly 2.2 million people with electricity. They’re good for the environment, too, because technologies that use energy more efficiently produce fewer emissions. This is proof positive that Berlin-based companies are ahead of their time. Berlin – the place to be for future industries.

be unerring, be pioneer, be berlin

"You can only reach your goal if you know what that goal is. This was clear to me during my four years as head of the Berlin assembly team. We wanted to build the world’s biggest and strongest gas turbine – right in the middle of the city – and to provide people with clean energy. And these are exactly the goals we achieved. Today, the Siemens SGT5-8000H gas turbine is in the Guinness Book of Records. Two patents originated in Berlin on tools involved in the machine. It completed its test phase for the customer E.ON successfully and was honored with many awards. We even received two environmental awards, which makes me particularly proud. I’ve been working at Siemens’ Berlin turbine factory since starting my training as an engine fitter and later as a mechanical technician. At our facility, progress and world culture combine with a centuries-old tradition of invention. This was always very inspiring, especially for our international cooperation in prototype engineering. In Berlin, ideas can grow and bloom. As I see it, this is exactly why Berlin and Siemens have always made an unbeatably good team. “Siemensians” want to remain pioneers and break new ground together with their clients. This is exactly what Berlin gives them the opportunity to do. "

Burkhard Ischler - Berlin Offices of the Management of Siemens AG:

"Berlin needs a strong industrial core. Today, modern industrial production stands for leading technology and high-quality jobs. Many Berlin-based companies continue to enjoy business success and export products to the entire world. By participating in the campaign, Siemens is showing its commitment to the city in which it was founded and its support for the Berlin Senate in showcasing Berlin’s advantages as an industrial location both at home and abroad."
