Traditionally, the district is renowned for the metal, wood and furniture industries. The automotive industry has developed very dynamically - particularly in Prenzlau, Eberswalde and Bernau. However, recent extensive investments have also boosted the health, tourism and renewable energy industries. Barnim has now become a prime business location thanks to the establishment of highly productive SMEs, a sound infrastructure and an attractive living environment for its booming population.

The Barnim district is multifaceted: Ahrensfelde on the outskirts of Berlin, Eberswalde regional growth area and town, the Bernau “metropolis”, Wandlitz, Joachimsthal in the Schorfheide landscape, Britz-Chorin-Oderberg on the Polish border - and each region attracts with very different strengths and charms.

What they said about Brandenburg:
“We feel really comfortable at the Eberswalde site. The conditions are excellent. The best part is that I have been able to employ motivated, qualified professionals who are needed for the development of the company.”
