  • Fact Sheet: Turbine Assembly Hall in Berlin Celebrates More Than 100 Years of Operation
    Fact sheet: Turbine assembly hall in Berlin celebrates more than 100 years of operation 1. From the beginnings of turbine construction to rebuilding production The gas turbine plant in Berlin-Moabit stands for a century-old tradition of making top-notch technology in Berlin for delivery all over the world. More than 100 years after it was built, this industrial building is still serving its original purpose: to build large turbines that consistently embody world-leader performance. The new steam turbine assembly hall, designed in 1909 by Prof. Peter Behrens for the AEG turbine factory, was celebrated in its day as a milestone in modern industry, thanks to its advanced concept. Today, the hall is used for machining cast and forged parts, and for assembling the rotors for Siemens AG gas turbines to be used in power plants. Peter Behrens is considered the first modern industrial designer to create a modern aesthetic for AEG’s appearance and repertoire of shapes back then – its products, its factories, and even its printed materials. He developed the principle of “Industrial Objectivity,” as a synthesis of technology and art. The AEG turbine factory, founded in 1904, built the largest steam turbines of its day, with capacities that soon rose from 1 to 5 megawatts. The exemplary fixtures and fittings of the first production hall and the organization of work procedures also impressed contemporaries. But as capacities increased by leaps and bounds, individual turbine components become larger and heavier – and space difficulties forced the manufacturer to build an even larger, even better-designed assembly hall.
