The curators of the Ars Eletronica Garden Berlin welcome the audience at Ostkreuz, the busiest interchange station in Berlin. The path leads eastwards beyond the so-called “S-Bahn-Ring”, where for many locals and tourists the city of Berlin ends. Along the way we encounter famous techno clubs, centres of the music industry and architectural monuments until, after only a short distance, we reach Berlin’s former Elektropolis, a remarkable building ensemble of multi-storey factories, extensive production halls and administrative buildings. Here, where the Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) and later the Kabelwerk Oberspree (KWO) once produced industrial goods, the University of Applied Scienes and the Gardens Berlin exhibition venue are now located, transforming this important industrial site into a place of future and innovation. Truly welcome to Berlin off the beaten track.
