In 1850 the chemist Max August Jordan founded the firm ‘Chemische Fabrik Dr. Jordan’ in Treptow which in 1863 was one of Germany’s first aniline manufacturers. Over time this grew into the Actien-Gesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation, known by its abbrevation AGFA. In 1924-25 Agfa’s new dry plate factory was built in Bouchéstrasse. Its products later included X-ray plates, film for aerial photography, rolls of photographic film and cine film reels as well. In the 1950s the former Agfa factory building became the production site for the VEB Steremat. What began with the development of high-frequency generators led to the manufacture of terminals for the Robotron P8000 computer, reel-to-reel tape recorders with cassette technology for laboratory applications, radio clocks and radio receivers, and much more. The former factory floors were completely refurbished in 1990-94.
