Adlershof has a 250 year history, and for over 100 years has attracted science and innovation. It bears the marks of its past, from the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, faschism, to the GDR and most recently, the vacation of the area in 1990 by GDR’s state television and the academy of science. The German Aerospace Centre (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR) celebrated 100 years of the German Research Institute for Aviation (Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt, DVL). In the meantime, Adlershof had become Germany’s largest science and technology park.
