The Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (Technische Hochschule Wildau - TH Wildau) is one of five universities of applied sciences in the federal state of Brandenburg, Germany. It is located near Germany's capital city, Berlin, which is easy to reach from Wildau by local train.The history of Wildau begins with fishermen's families that settled by the Dahme River and then came to deliver sand, gravel and bricks from the region by boat to Berlin. Mechanical engineering put Wildau on the map as a location for industry. In 1897, the Schwartzkopff company established a locomotive works there, and built a works' housing complex that is a listed building today. In the Second World War the works were involved in armaments production, and were then demolished after the war.
