Elektropolis Berlin: Discover groundbreaking objects from the history of communications technology. Radios, telephones and televisions changed our lives in the 19th and 20th centuries because they fulfilled mankind's ancient desire for unlimited communication.

The exhibition "Elektropolis Berlin" tells the story of communications technology and its influence on Berlin's electrical industry. Visitors to the exhibition can follow Berlin's rapid rise to become the capital of Germany in the six areas of telegraphy, telephony, radio, broadcasting, sound engineering and television: in 1930, 50 percent of the German broadcasting industry and 70 percent of the German electrical industry were based in Berlin.

The audio and visual documents that are an important part of the exhibition can be explored by museum visitors themselves at media stations or using the recreated SFB television studio from 1958. Through seeing, hearing and trying out, it becomes all the clearer how closely technical innovations and the changes in our living environment are connected. News technology made and still makes the lives of people in the "Electropolis Berlin" more pleasant and exciting.
