    The extensive factory complex in Berlin's Wilhelmsruh district documents the rapid rise of Bergmann Elektricitäts-Werke AG to become the third-largest electrical company after Siemens and AEG. Even in GDR times, the company, which was converted into VEB Bergmann-Borsig, wrote technical and industrial history as the largest power plant supplier in the GDR.
    With the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the Bergmann-Borsig site became a border area that could only be entered with special authorization. A total of 2008 meters of the company boundary on the north and south-west side of the site represented the wall.
    The border strip was particularly narrow in the area between the northern railway embankment and the works. There was only enough space for the Grenzweg, so all openings in the factory buildings were walled up and secured accordingly.
