Really glad they saved and preserved this historic airport. Hope they preserve the open space of the airfield.

One of my favorite experiences here in Berlin. For fans of history, architecture, and liminal spaces, this is a MUST-VISIT! I highly recommend booking the guided tour as you’ll not only get to see incredible parts of the old airport but also learn a ton from the incredible tour guide! The tour itself takes about 75 minutes and you do a bit of walking both inside and outside. Remember, you can take pictures to your heart’s content but no video or sound are allowed.

It was a great experience to see this massive complex and to learn the history and of the important role it played following WWII. The Berlin Airlift, with the daily tons of food and supplies that were flown in, saved the starving German people. Our tour guide thankfully spoke English, as we walked to various rooms, sections and what their functions were. Numerous stairs were climbed and it was a hot day in July. The grand concourse was just that. GRAND. The scale of that interior was truly amazing. And in Art Deco design. Outside, wander the ramp area, all under a vast roof for protection of the passengers. Stroll the runway or rent scooters and buzz around. The snack bar was open and seating is provided.

Cool and historic location that is definitely worth visiting. Walk through an abandoned art deco styled airport from the 1930s Site of Germany's first powered flight by Orville Wright in September 1909. Designated as one of the world's first airports in 1923. Used as takeoff location for German bombers during WW2. Integral to Berlin airlift of 1948-1949 And finally closed as an airport 2008. Today it is a large park area set in the remnants of old terminal buildings and aircraft.
