Book, New sealed: SIEMENS has been intimately involved with economic and technological developments since the middle of the 19th century, but also with the general history of Germany and the world. It was a global player long before globalization became a fashionable concept.

Having constructed the worlds first electric railway and laying the first telegraph lines, Siemens was responsible for building much of the modern world’s infrastructure.

Siemens is today a technology giant in more than 190 countries.


Wilfred Feldenkirchen describes the company’s rapid rise as well as the setbacks which it had to face along it’s path from workshop to global player.
