Why Berlin?
"When Axel Springer AG emphatically affirmed its commitment to Berlin by moving its corporate headquarters to the capital, this was not just because the concept that our founder Axel Springer had of Berlin, as a new intellectual hub, is still as viable today as it was during his lifetime.

Dr. Mathias Döpfner, Chairman and CEO Axel Springer AG
