Siemens Historical Institute
The Siemens Historical Institute is the memory of Siemens. We have the task of documenting the diverse history of our technology company, founded in Berlin in 1847.
We safeguard, analyze and make available valuable written documents, photos, films and products from the almost 175-year history and development of Siemens and its predecessor companies.
Among our most important partners are the businesses and the regions, on whose behalf we carry out historical research and prepare the results depending on requirements.
