An unbelievable feeling of space and freedom in the middle of the city. Here you can do everything wonderfully, barbecue, play sports, stroll through the community gardens, watch people doing strange activities, make pawn collectors happy. And as is so often the case in Berlin, there is also a historical veil over this place and, whoosh, you're in the middle of a political discussion while drinking soda. What will happen to the Tempelhofer Feld? Who should benefit from it? The time will tell. Until then, enjoy, design and watch the sun go down.

Tempelhofer Feld

Highlight • Historical Site

The airport Berlin-Tempelhof was one of the first commercial airports in Germany and took up the regular service in 1923. The area on which the Tempelhof Airport was built - the Tempelhofer Feld - was formerly a parade ground. The first engine flight on Tempelhofer Feld took place in 1909. At the beginning of March 1923, the Junkers Luftverkehrsgesellschaft demonstrated the suitability of the Tempelhofer Feld with special flights from five Junkers F 13 to Leipzig Mockau Airport. The new National Socialist concentration camp KZ Columbia, which was located directly on the new building and opened on December 27, 1934, was closed due to the new building. It was in operation until 5 November 1936 and was demolished in 1938. In 1946, Tempelhof Airport, which is located in the US sector, became the military base mainly used by the USAAF. He got the name Tempelhof Air Base. The airport took on a new meaning in 1948: Together with the airfield Gatow, and later also the airport Tegel, he served during the blockade of West Berlin the transport of food and supplies for Berlin by plane.

Tempelhofer Feld

Highlight • Structure

A real Berlin highlight, especially for cyclists. The size of the old airport and the length of the runway are impressive. It is also comparatively quiet here, at least there is no car traffic. If you are here, you should take a ride around Tempelhofer Feld.

Tempelhofer Feld is a leisure paradise for active people. The former runways and taxiways invite you to do some really sporty cycling.

Southern runway (after 1945)

Highlight • Structure

Runways for candy bombers and civil air traffic

In the 1930s, grass areas were considered the ideal runway for take-off and landing. The propeller planes rolled from the hangars onto a wide path that surrounded the airfield. They then drove to one of the three original semi-circular concrete aircraft parking spaces. Here they warmed up the engines and drove at high speed against the wind onto the field and took off. It was only after the US armed forces took over the airport that paved runways were built.

Hangars with covered apron (1936)

Highlight • Monument

Ambitious roof construction and secret writing on concrete

The ambivalence of monumentality and modernity is characteristic of the airport's architecture. All facades facing the city are clad in natural stone. The modern steel construction of the hall arch is clearly visible at the back. The pier in the middle of the building and the hangars on either side are covered by a 40 m cantilevered roof construction without columns - a pioneering engineering feat. Stands for 80,000 spectators were planned on the roof, from where they would watch the Nazi air force's air shows. But the stairwells in many of the 13 tower buildings remain unfinished. Today, refugees are housed in hangars 1 to 3. Events such as the VELOBerlin bicycle festival take place in the other hangars and on the apron. There are numerous listed markers on the concrete apron. They date from different periods of airport operation, during which they were used to control traffic for aircraft, helicopters, ground vehicles and pedestrians, among others.
