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.

Tempelhof Airport

Highlight • Structure

In sunny weather like today, Sunday, March 16, young and old alike are out on roller skates, balance bikes, children's bikes, even racing bikes, and surfboards with kites on the two runways, each 2.5 km long and a circular track, as well as on the meadows and fenced-in dog runs.

Anyone who experiences the "vibrant urban population of young and old" here would never think of building this area with residential buildings, perhaps even social housing to separate it from cars and the S-Bahn.

Otherwise, the freedom of living would soon be over due to complaining tenants or owners. The surrounding area has a population of over 4,500 inhabitants per square kilometer or more.

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.

Cycling on the Runway at Tempelhofer Feld

Highlight • Cycleway

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

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.

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.

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.

To be honest: I'm really scared right now. The country is tipping rapidly. Many people are becoming increasingly angry and hateful. The open spaces are getting smaller and smaller.

I want to continue to lead a free life with my husband in the future. Not have to worry when I visit my parents in Saxony-Anhalt. Know that everyone is welcome …

Drift briefly across the Tempelhofer Feld, choosing a somewhat confused route without any sense or reason. Slowly starting up again after a break due to illness...

Berlin, drizzle, 10 ° C.

That's just about OK, after 12-13 km I notice my shoulder. But it's slowly getting better. I support that with swimming, strength training and Pilates. Reminder to myself: never take such a long break again, especially with Pilates

Quickly do three laps around Tempelhofer Feld to supply the brain with fresh oxygen and then write a speech for our demonstration at the Red Town Hall tomorrow.

If safe cycling facilities in Berlin are important to you, come to the Red Town Hall on December 1st, 2024 at 2 p.m. for a short demonstration.

Little time today and therefore only turned four powerful laps on the Tempelhofer Feld.

Maybe interesting for people who don't ride a pedelec (which is significantly heavier and has greater air resistance than a racing bike):
- Provided you bring in between 200 W and 300 W of your own power over the long term (average 235 W today), you …
