Largest Siemens Location Worldwide Completed
August 11, 2026
- Consolidation of Siemens locations in Nuremberg metropolitan area now largely finished
- Siemens Campus Erlangen to bring together people and expertise from all Siemens units at one location and strengthen collaboration in line with ONE Tech Company strategy
- Model for sustainable transformation of former research center into open and vibrant urban district
- Module 8 to open as final building block of Siemens Campus Erlangen
One of the largest transformation projects in Siemens’ recent history is now finished. The opening of the new buildings in Module 8 marks the completion of Siemens Campus Erlangen, which consolidates all company’s locations in and around Nuremberg, Germany. The project demonstrates how a former research center can be transformed into an open, sustainable urban district and a modern campus. Since 2014, Siemens has invested around €1 billion in the campus, where approximately 16,000 people from the greater Nuremberg metropolitan region work for the company today.
With construction of the Siemens Technology Campus at the company’s development and manufacturing site along the Erlangen European Canal having started last year, Siemens is already continuing this development, further investing in Erlangen as an innovation hub and reaffirming its commitment to Germany as a business location as well as to the “Made for Germany” initiative.
An area that was once accessible only to Siemens people is now a space transparent and open to all.
A total of 18 new buildings – including a reception hall and a laboratory – have been built. All of Siemens’ operating businesses are represented on the campus, including Siemens Foundational Technologies, which conducts research, the company’s Middle Franconia Branch Office, which supports customers and partners in the region, and Siemens Professional Education, which provides training and education. Restaurants and shops make the location a popular meeting place not only for Siemens people but also for all the residents of Erlangen.
“With Siemens Campus Erlangen, a vision has become reality. The campus stands for innovation, collaboration and sustainability, demonstrating how modern working environments and urban development can successfully go hand in hand. This is where interdisciplinary teams create the technologies and solutions of tomorrow. The campus makes visible what defines Siemens as a ONE Tech Company: the combination of technology, expertise and collaboration across all business areas,” said Veronika Bienert, Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG and member of the Managing Board with responsibility for the Nuremberg metropolitan region.

Modern working environments and sustainability in focus
Siemens Campus Erlangen combines modern working environments with high sustainability standards. Renewable energy sources, rainwater utilization, green roofs and intelligent building technology enable near carbon-neutral operation. At the same time, the buildings have continuously evolved – from conventional construction methods to timber-hybrid structures and all-electric buildings using low-carbon construction materials.
“With Module 8, Siemens Digital Industries is gaining a new home at Siemens Campus Erlangen. Here, we’re bringing together our expertise in automation and industrial software while fostering collaboration with other Siemens units, research institutions, customers and partners. This project strengthens our innovative power as a ONE Tech Company and is also a clear commitment to a location known worldwide as the epicenter of automation,” said Cedrik Neike, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Digital Industries.
The result is a vibrant space that fosters innovation, encourages interaction and makes a sustainable contribution to the urban development of the City of Erlangen, which has constructively supported this major project from the very beginning.
“The Siemens Campus is a clear and long-term commitment by Siemens to Erlangen as a business location,” said Jörg Volleth, Mayor of Erlangen, at the opening ceremony. “It strengthens our city as an international center for science and business and demonstrates how innovation, modern working environments and sustainable urban development can successfully work together. I’m particularly pleased that we’ll continue this journey together: with the planned ‘Südquartier’, much-needed housing for families, students and skilled professionals will be created in the coming years. This initiative will result in an open and vibrant district that combines working, living and community life – a benefit for the entire city.”
With the opening of Module 8, Siemens Campus Erlangen is now complete. The project was led by Siemens Real Estate, Siemens’ real estate arm, and is now regarded as a blueprint for transforming former industrial and research locations into open and sustainable urban districts. Many of the concepts and technologies tested in Erlangen are already being incorporated into the development of other Siemens locations around the world.
