On the history of an electrical company: the Allgemeine Elektrizit\u00e4ts-Gesellschaft (AEG) was founded by the engineer Emil Rathenau (1838-1915) in 1883. AEG was already the largest German electrical company before the First World War.<\/p>\n
The largest single factory of the group was on Brunnenstra\u00dfe. During the Second World War, military goods such as submarine motors were manufactured here. In 1944, around 9,500 people worked here, a third of which were forced labourers. Further factories were on nearby Ackerstra\u00dfe, in Moabit, at Treptower Park and in Obersch\u00f6neweide.<\/p>\n
This trademark, rich in tradition, is now used by successors and licensees who mostly have become involved in the compensation of forced labourers.<\/p>\n
