I just checked one of Einstein's talks, and the term he used for the aether was "Äther." He was talking about the luminiferous aether (the hypothetical substance in which light is a wave) as opposed to the classical aether (the fifth element that the gods breathed), but I suspect that the word is the same for both. So... "Tesla Ätherische Übertragung GmbH, Bahnhof Brandenburg"?
