Templehof Air field Templehof Air field No Data

Description


Built in the 1920's and then rebuilt by the Nazi's Tempelhof was, at one point, one of Europe's most Iconic and important airports. Along with Tegel it helped keep West Berlin alive during the Berlin Air Lift, and consequently is one of the most important aviation sites in Europe. Except it's no longer an airport. With construction on the new Berlin Brandenburg airport in progress the last flights left Tempelhof in 2008 and the airport was closed for business. Since then the airfield has been turned into a community park, with one the main attractions being the two full length runways that you can cycle, rollerblade or walk along.
