Company history
The Elektro-Apparate-Werke emerged from the Apparate-Werken Berlin-Treptow (AT) founded by AEG in 1928 and were renamed as the Soviet Stock Corporation (SAG) in Elektro-Apparate-Werke Berlin-Treptow (EAW) on October 21, 1946 . After the death of Josef Stalin , the plant was named Elektro-Apparate-Werke JW Stalin. On December 31, 1953, the Elektro-Apparate-Werke changed their legal form, the SAG became a state- owned company . When Stalin was classified as no longer worthy of venerable by the Soviet government in 1961, his name was removed and later changed to include "Friedrich Ebert". In the 1980s there was a memorial plaque for Werner Seelenbinder on the administration building .
The vocational training to electromechanics, skilled workers for production technology and skilled workers for plastics processing took place in Mörikestrasse in Berlin-Baumschulenweg and later the theoretical vocational training of the apprentices in Bouchestrasse in Berlin-Treptow. The practical vocational training for the electrical mechanics and toolmakers (skilled workers for production technology) took place partly in the Kynaststrasse and until the end of the company in the Mörikestrasse, the plastic skilled workers in the Berlin-Köpenick branch in the Lindenstrasse.
The EAW also carried out the polytechnical training of students from the neighboring Treptow schools. The subject of productive work to get to know specific operational processes was taught at the water tower at Ostkreuz S-Bahn station in poorly maintained barracks (heating problems in the cold season) with theory on socialist production and practical solutions to production tasks - practical student work, such as the production of indoor fountains for the Population needs, taught. A second location for UTP lessons was Karl-Kunger-Strasse in Berlin-Treptow.
For the qualification of the employees the EAW maintained a company academy, also in the Karl-Kunger-Straße. Commercial skills with a professional qualification were taught there. But also annual “mental retreads” for monotonous activities by unskilled workers (such as in the production of refrigerator relays).
The obligatory physical education of two hours per week for all apprenticeship years took place on the company's own sports facility in the hall and on the outdoor areas (lawn and gravel) on Rodelbergweg in Berlin-Baumschulenweg. This is also where the various sports working groups (the handball club was the most successful) and the weekly teacher sports were based.
The EAW were also a place of work and rehabilitation object for prisoners in the GDR who were incarcerated in the Rummelsburg prison on Hauptstrasse not far from the relay factory in Hoffmannstrasse .
In 1990 the company was converted into EAW Berlin GmbH and privatized in 1993. Independent medium-sized companies emerged from the former divisions. The EAW company school had to close in the early 1990s.
