BER Airport: Still Modern Or Already Outdated? A Tour Through Berlin’s New Airport
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Some people thought it would never happen but: the BER is finally complete. With a delay of almost 10 years, Berlin’s new airport has officially opened its gates to passengers. The BER was originally designed in 1998 by renowned architects GMP. But is their former vision of a modern airport still up to date? We’ll take you on a tour.

What do you think about the BER airport's design? ✒️👇
The horizontal is emphasized. Right angles predominate. It seems an update of International Style aesthetics, for example, the walnut provides a warmer sensibility than the geometric steel/glass/concrete chill of many earlier International edifices. Nonetheless, simple functionality is still emphasized. Quite stunning I think.
Looks brutalistic. Not bad at all. Perfectly presents German people mentality.
Despite all the time and the trouble, it has an unspectacular but stringent architecture which fits to Berlin except that they allowed a luxury that makes it globally "competitive"
@@texleeger8973
I like all the wood accents... Gives the airport a warmer feel than one might expect. It actually reminds me a little bit of Madrid Barajas airport in that regard
Ugly.
It was easier to find a well functioning airport and build Berlin around it
Lol
😂
underrated comment.
Can you give an example ? You can't set up a modern functioning airport by building around an old structure. That's the sort half baked comments by self ordained experts.
@@rext8949 if the germans could build an entire city around a the biggest car factory in the world I bet they can with an airport
Those architects were young when they were hired to design and became pensioners at the time of completion of construction.
LOL!
Well, they weren’t young since they also designed Tegel in the 1970s...
@@MikayeYakovlev Late 60s ;-) As their very first project! And they designed it step by step, building after building because he didn't trust himself to be able to manage a project of this size at this time.
Nice one :D
The originally price was actually quoted on Deutschmarks lol
When you designed your airport at 80s and finished in 2021.
There are lot of nostalgic moments.
I heard you the first time…
I live in Germany and one thing that is always screwed up with Germany architecture is the lack of attention to how people move through the spaces. I noticed that in restaurants, train stations, hotels, and shopping malls, the major flow lines of people are always crossing each over. I’m anxious to see how well BER stacks up.
Exactly!!! I am an American building sports facilities in Germany and I could write a book on how buildings here seem to be intentionally designed to hinder natural flow and to make simple tasks harder to complete.
They intentionally make Germans bump into each other, there's no other way to get them to socially engage in public.
"The total cost will be 6.5 Billion Euros". Just ridiculous for what it looks like, for 6.5B I'd except it to put Singapore's airport to shame (which cost only 1.3B USD).
It is the German slowness and corruption. What do you expect?
I'm not sure if it's adjusted for inflation
Singapore airport didn't cost "only" 1.3B USD. What you're talking about is the shopping mall, "Jewel", at Changi Airport-- that's not Singapore Changi airport itself though...
Singapore has a much lower pay for workers than germans do, and are known for using cheap laborers hired from other countries referred to by singaporeans as "banglas". These things matter a lot when it comes to the cost of building something.
@@Furnus105 Banglas are basically Bangladeshis
It's very nice to see that BER is no longer the worlds only 1:1 Scale Model of an Airport!
How do you guys come up with these jokes?
I suppose you did have quite a bit of time to think of them.
This does NOT have this "new building" feel.
The building was constructed from 2006-2011, and it's basically been sitting there for 9 years until finally opening, so yeah.
The design may remains modern, but the capacity is definitely not enough for Berlin now. Shame.
BER has an inital capacity of 46 Million with T2 and T5. T2 is closed at the moment due to low demand.
Well... capacity is WAY over for Berlin "now" sadly.
@@Angel_EU34 true lol. Sad story
let's see how much flying we will do in the future.
@@unlink1649 total 40m+ capacity is fine, but 27m is not enough for Tegel+Schönefeld. Poor Tempelhof, still have to continue operation, after so many years...
Compared to say, Heathrow, Changi, Istanbul and Beijing's new airport, this isn't very impressive. But the design is decent enough.
It looks like Home Depot lumber section to me
BER isn't supposed to be a big hub like the airports you mentioned. You can't compare them, because Germany has their biggest Airports in Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf.
You may not know this but the BER is a meme in Germany because it took so long to finish
Das ist weltweit unter Luftfahrfans ein Meme.
This is a worldwide meme for aviation fans.
I know. I was slagging it off to my ex gf who is german. It’s a massive joke
Pragmatisms says: as long as it works efficiently, why not?
Aesthetics says Nein. It looks like a 1970s apartment block, with an added glass facade.
This airport needed to be expanded 10 years ago. Back to the drawing board.
Why would there be escalators to the main hall when most users will be carrying luggage? Put it the same level as the entrance or use a slope...
I am airport designer, hardly see two levels terminals nowadays except some only serve domestic passengers with small capacity in developing countries for the reason of economy. Normally departure passengers would need to drop-off at higher departure road, which at same level with check-in hall so that it could be convenient for those who have luggage.
Lift or put your luggage on a stair
@@zackzou1441 That's the case in BER as well.
Most larger airports I've ever been to have escalators or stairs at some point in the process...
When you arrive with cars there are no escaladors necessary and if you arrive by train you can use the lift up to the check in floor
Looks like something that was built in the 80’s and got an renovation in the early 00’s. Let’s hope in doesn’t function as bad as it looks.
Looks like an airport to me
Some airport in Asia lookslike a stingray fish, a shell, a space station, a bowl, even one full of plants looks like botanical garden.
@@aungmyintoo4635 fuckin true
Was there ,only yesterday! Extremely well designed and passenger friendly, gives a warm and homey feeling! Loved it.
Actually I preferred Tempelhof. Always amazing to land there and have the planes parked under the overhang.
You preferred Tempelhof but the people living there - didn't.
I prefer the park there
If the management can put up some greeneries, like trees and vines or trellises inside the terminal, I personally think that would make the overall ambience more balanced (if that is correct term?) because seems like it would fit in with the wood panelling and limestone floor.
Agreed. The lack of nature gives the place a stifling, inhuman air. But will they have the budget for such niceties?
Agreed. They are into that green stuff politically lol
Yesssssss
I love Tegel i dont understand why they cant just keep it open when they open this one?
you can have all the attractions and perfect architectural details in the world but nothing beats leaving your plane and getting to the taxi in literally 1 minute and getting where you need to be within 5-10 minutes after that.
real shame
not sure how residents nearby any of the Berlin airports feel about it, but in the Bavarian capital city of Munich I'm somehow glad that the airport is located far outside the city, like a 30 minute drive away ...
Because the people in Berlin complained about the noise
It's a technical institute now.
Better to use them differently
Airport Work progressed as if Berlin was still in East Germany. Just saying.
No, in east Germany they would have opened when they should have. But they would keep Security issues use propably aspartam and make in all very insecure airport
@geheimschriver how so
@geheimschriver like Beijing Daxing airport?
No. The operator wanted more and more space for retail which was added literally on the go. That's what broke the whole project. You don't just add another floor to a building why you are building it but at that time Germany was obsessed with saving money and extra profits. Hadn't it been for the die hard capitalists the airport would have opened years earlier.
I am from Singapore, home to arguably one of the most awarded airports in the world: Changi. First opened in 1981, the airport architecture is nothing fanciful, and despite constant expansions and upgrading works, still pales in comparison to many grandiose airports today. Even newer terminals constructed more recently at SIN kept to simple, boxy designs not unlike BER.
So why is Changi still so well loved by so many travellers? Simply because external architecture is merely a superficial facade which hardly adds anything to the travelling experience. You are spending time *in* the terminal, not outside it. What makes an airport excellent are all the hardware and software within, the later of which, in particular, is not easily replicated by just throwing tonnes of money like how the Chinese and Middle East do.
Of course we all have different tastes, but BER certainly looks homely and inviting enough, especially when compared to most German airports. I agree that the dominant use of wood is an excellent choice, although I am not a huge fan of the flooring (Changi intentionally chooses carpet because it dampens noise, reduces stress, and feels more cosy, for example). As long as the hardware is accompanied by good service, I am sure it will make a name for itself pretty soon. Good luck! ;)
Yes, functionality is the most important factor. Ease of operation and comfort of passengers is of primary importance. Giving unnecessary importance to fanciful designs and decorations is distracting and unwanted. Airports have unfortunately become vanity projects for many countries.
It's Berlin - Don't expect good service.
@I China builds the maximum number of prisons and gulags apart from surveillance cameras to spy upon its own citizens because it's an authoritarian state. Singapore unfortunately is not rich nor vicious enough.
@@rext8949 on a per capita basis Singapore is still miles richer than China. It does not mean we squander our money like how the Chinese does. ;)
@@huaiwei Yes. China is on a mad drive to prove itself to the world. Hence the bling and flash with mega projects and vanity plugs . Unfortunately it lacks soul and sincerity. A matter of class actually. Give me Singapore any day.
10 years late and six times over the original estimate... German efficiency!
At least it finished before SLS
Also if you combine german bureacracy with lowest-bidding contractors and construction projects of that scale, it's really not surprising that someone thought something wasnt up to standard.
And opened during a pandemic = perfect timing.
@@horstherbert35 At least it opened before California high speed train system.
I used to take a bus to Tegel in 10 minutes and get through security in 30. I can't fathom going to the end of the world with limited transportation options for an outdated, criminally expensive airport. Things are quiet now but when the world reopens how will large amounts of people get there? The current options are few and quite inconvenient, especially for motorists and people in certain neighbourhoods. I now have to calculate and hour and a half to just get to BER.
It definitely has a late-90s/early-2000s feel but I think it adds to its charm. It doesn't look dated at all, just reminiscent of an earlier time.
the airport looks very tiny
The architects also disliked the idea of shops and airport shopping, so they made it especially difficult to build shopping isles, which is also why this design had to be redone.
The architects were amazing people. The redesign will clearly never pay for itself.
who wants shops????
I've flown in and out of Tegel a few times (it had what was possibly the cheapest lounge in Europe) and the departure areas were more like temporary buildings but it has a real quirkiness that I liked.
It is so nice to see BER completed and I'm looking forward to flying back in :)
@rjy8960 You might find it quirky, too..😁
Tegel was an absolute nightmare, for obvious reasons. Since they decided to build BER no one wanted to put even a single Pfennig in it. We used Tegel in 2009 and it was almost falling apart.
Thats not the right question, look at the fraud and the expenses. For that money this airport is a laughing stock.
i like the design. probably my favourite of any new airport in recent years. Cebu-Mactan in the Philippines is also wonderful.
It looks like lots of other airports - especially London Stansted, which has a very similar glass box appearance.
Look forward to using it, pandemic permitting! Looks good!
Will forever miss TXL.
When I see these wood-panelled check-in desks and the boring concrete floors and walls, I think of a city council building or maybe a courtroom. This whole airport design smells of 80s bureaucracy, with the occasional modern display threwn carelessly onto a wall, and a few "works of art" strewn all over the place as is required by our legislation. They should rename it from Berlin Flughafen to Bundesfernreiseamt, because that's what it feels like.
It looks like a building from Jaques Tati's "Play TIme" -- cold and grey. The interior is reminiscent of CPH - Copenhagen's airport. Much warmer with the wood panels.
Hideous place. The walnut, manila colours and endless concrete makes it feel like a 1970s movie. Barely a shrub in sight.
I still have nightmares where I’m running endlessly around the hexagonal ring of Tegel airport about to miss my flight.
2:48 Classical? That would be way earlier than this concrete and glass monstrosity
From my experience, unless you're some sort of engineer/specialist, things that were built up to 20 years ago are still considered modern to the average person's eye.
That ‘aqua-blue ‘ type of glass is very 2000’s. I remember thinking that looked so modern.
Well they did start constructing this building in 2006 so...
For me the hard corners all over does make it seem cold and too industrial.
Looks good
Germans circle-jerking about how good their new overpriced airport is. They made the distances from security to the gates way too far, and they didn't even think about building fast track moving floors like in most airports in 2023. Perhaps the only airport where you actually need to arrive 2 hours before your flight just because of the rediculous distance you have to go entirely by foot just to get to your damn gate. The last time I had to use this airport was 2021, and the next time I will use it is 2024. I'm wondering if they fixed any of the problems since then.
The airport looks OK to me. After all, it's for boarding or deplaning airplanes. You're not going to live there.
I’d argue that airports play a bigger role than just the logistic as they can be ones first introduction to a nation.
no ... just a full day every time you fly
@@unknown1994ish Welcome to Germany
It's time that we return to the idea of buildings being beautiful and not just functional. Look at airports like Beijing, Singapore and Mumbai which also care about their culture and heritage.
@@unknown1994ish It's true. First impressions do matter but I wonder what did they spent the 6.5 billion on.
It has simple and elegant look that is quite refreshing from all the fashionable buildings of the day. I hope I will like it as much as I liked Tegel.
So it's gone from being the latest fashion of airport design - to being out of date - to some kind of retro fashion :o]
It's a shame it's just opened and no one can use it due to the latest lockdown. That includes me - was due to fly in on Monday :o(
Everybody can use it also while our light lockdown.
Like they always say, "Better late than never!"
Oh no Tegel is closing? :(
Yes, it is. The upcoming weekend. Will you miss it?
@@dweuromaxx No. That airport was like a racehorse put into life-support for the last 10+ years.
@@dweuromaxx Yes and No. I live close to Tegel so no planes noise anymore, but I liked the airport anyway.
@@dweuromaxx will Tegel Airport be demolished or is it transferred into something else? Will the area be changed into a housing estate, a shoppingmall, leisure center or industrial estate? Or a nature reserve? Or a combination of this? I’m curious because it is in the middle of the city where land is scarce.
@@RealConstructor In the north and east of the area there will be new living quarters. The old terminal will be used by the Beuth University of applied sciences and in the area around an urban tech quarter is expected to be built.
Maybe the only Positive report about the BER in the World, thx DW 👍😁
I've not been there but from the video it looks plain and undistinguished from the outside.
Hopefully it's functional and efficient in the inside because that's the important thing for passengers.
It looks outdated and boring. But everything is better then Schönefeld. I was in disbelief when I landed there. This tiny outdated building from the 70s and a bunch of disjointed temporary structures all around. Tiny and overcrowded! Horrible!
the airport is not even new anymore. its a relic
So what do you call airports which are decades old ?
Completely outdated. It's such an embarrassment not only for Berlin but also Germany as a whole.
Don't lump the rest of Germany with Berlin, they are in their own bubble up there in the north. The south of German is a completely different beast.
Compared to Chinese new airports this ,,new" Berlin airport is a joke. Yes outside form and facade doesn't matter to average person. So it doesn't need to be that extra, but this airport interior looks outdated as much as exterior. It's not innovative it's plain and boring. What happened idk, but even Frei Otto design from 70' looks like SF for this sad, boring looking box.
Chinese and middle eastern new airports are fucking hideous
@Fei Long 黄飞龙 I stand corrected. Not my fav but feels innovative. In 50 years it'll be a classic, for sure
I live in Germany and I totally agree. Nothing here looks modern. It's no surprise tho, they still use fax, traditional mail, cash and the Internet infrastructure is absolutely terrible. There's nothing modern in this country.
my sister was born in 1998 when the design of the airport was made. Know she is 26 and about to get married. This airport is so old that it needs a new one insted.
If they were to use different materials and designs today, what would it have been? This was not answered in the last bit of the interview!
Exactly, I thought the same. The construction may have been a long farce, but it looks very contemporary and nothing to me looked dated. I cant imagine an airport of that size built now would look any different.
I'm sure he also said something bizarre at the start that the layout became outdated and now is back in fashion, which is also a strange comment.
I think he was trying to justify his invite by having to find fault with something.
Probably less glass. Think re-purposed warehouse.
@@andyt8216 Actually it was a backhanded compliment. Otherwise it's quite pathetic if you expect an airport to trend every few years.
Materials and designs change very quickly. That is no reason for periodic updates. An airport is build to last for decades.
I like more than waterfall in middle of the airport for no reason I want to catch a plane not watching water going down,this one is just straightfoward and simple
The building was opened to service, worn out and also lacked aesthetics. Nobody should be angry but this is the truth.
I flew in and out of BER a few months ago. The terminal building is functional and very spacious. Nothing stands out with a "wow" factor, nothing was particularly eye catching or impressive. It all works, which I guess can be classified as a success. I know it was outdated and insufficient for the needs of the day, but I missed Tegel. The location and convenience could not be beat. Berlin Brandenburg is a good distance, and an expensive taxi ride, from the city.
At least Germany managed to get their brand new hub airport, even if it is overdue and (design-wise) out of date. The UK has opted for a fudge with a third runway for Heathrow which - if it goes ahead - is unlikely to be completed much before the end of the decade . . .
BER will not be a hub airport. Frankfurt, Munich, Düssedorf are hubs. To a lesser extent Hamburg. Berlin does not have the OUTBOUND volume of high paying passengers to start a hub. Also these other airports are already well-established hubs. The growth in flights to Berlin has been through a differentiated market with lots of "budget airlines" - the melding of the two airport locations Tegel and Schönefeld will inhibit this growth. The most frequent destination for Berlin airports ? Frankfurt, Münich, Düsseldorf (from Wikipedia).
@@1968Christiaan, Thanks for clarifying that . . .
@@1968Christiaan Dusseldorf isn't, Cologne is a minor LH hub.
It's already outdated.
Blame the people in charge of making the fire ventilation system
I think public sentiment has been harsh to this wonderful airport.Its been through a lot of criticism. It is a beautifully built airport and a lot of hard work has gone into its creation. I wish this airport all the best of luck and good vibes.
International airport, berlin brandenburg.
Almost 10 years late.
Viel schön und gehen gurke.
Ich nix verstehen 🤔🤔😅😅
Much pretty and walking cucumber.
Text war schnell gemacht.
Das war schwer zu umschreiben
Should we talk about how much money does this new airport cost?
The airport itself is nice and modern-looking, but too much wood for a place with a not-well designed fire suppression system 😂 (they fixed it I know)
i guess this is some synthetic material, intended to look like wood. Also modern wood components used in construction do not burn easily
Beastly work you have here
Outlook like a factory , but not visiting yet, can be inside equipment good ,
Bangkok & New Peking airport both had good outlooking ,
Looks like a very pleasant airport to be/use even as one can see possible improvements everywhere. Lamentable that it is not value for money, future proof and that the government transport wing has to commute to it. Hopefully it has renewable solutions installed to contribute to its running footprint.
Actually it is a very environmentally friendly airport, as 70% of its passengers will arrive by Public transit, mainly in the Airport‘s train station located directly beneath the main terminal.
@@peterw.8434 Is solar energy being used for temp control or geo? Are electric escalators the only solution? Etc...
There is no environmentally friendly airport. Air traffic is doubling every 20 years, so even with top notch technology to design airports and planes, the pollution would still be increasing overall. Unless you can halve the pollution of every airport and plane every 20 years. But you can't.
Of course, this is no longer true because of covid-19. But the pandemic will hopefully not last forever.
@@brinckau I hope that alternative fuels will be the standard for short haul flights in 20 years from now, so the emissions could drop then. But yeah, until aviation can claim themselves carbon neutral, it will take much longer. But an Airport can be environmentally friendly nonetheless, as it only refers to the direct Emissions of the airport (waste of the shops, Electricity, customer Transit,...) not the planes using it.
@@peterw.8434 Buying a candy bar in a vending machine at the airport generates more pollution than all of mankind combined for the first 200,000 years of our history (when we used zero atoms of uranium, zero molecule of petroleum, zero plastic, zero pesticides, zero artificial chemicals, etc.). Just buying one candy bar. So imagine one entire airport. It cannot not have a negative impact on the environment. Hence, it can't be environmentally friendly. Environmentally friendly means to have a neutral or positive impact on the environment, not a negative one. Airports are like cities, they generate a lot of pollution, and there is currently no way to make an environmentally friendly airport.
Well it's some what dated for a 2020 Airport but at least it happened which is a relief to be honest. I can see it going strong for 20 more years so not so bad. It lacks shopping and entertainment which will give it a hard time making enough money. I hope to visit it soon enough
I like the architecture of this building. I think it has strong signals/features of Functionalism and Neue Sachligkeit. The glass facade, the natural stone, the wood, the open plan. Although I like this building, it’s doesn’t breath this age. It is almost a filmset for an early sixties commercial for an airline company, like TWA or BOAC. I expected pilots in tight suits and stewardesses in pipe skirts with flashy smiles to walk into the picture.
Spot on. It has that 1960s air, from early colour commercials of the age of TWA, BEA and BOAC. Very retro and somewhat confusing in the 2020s.
Outdated, Why? Are we not 2002?
Orientation is pretty easy too and the architects are genius. For example you can barely see take off and landing airplanes when you’re on the visitor terrace…Who need that…Orientation is also pretty easy and logical. It’s definitely top airport in one of the biggest cities in Central Europe!
What ever issues BER T1 and T2 have can be fixed with T3.
Don't throw Mies Van der Rohe under the bus. He would have designed a truly classical airport for under 1 Billion €
And it would have been completely useless as an airport. He was good at building striking buildings, but he was horrible at building useful buildings.
I couldn't go to Germany as I couldn't get a visa(visa with good reason required for Germany,Poland,Norway,residence proof required for Luxemburg) but from the videos and photos I see that the airport is not as good and advanced as I expected. ICN,GMP,HKG are much better and advanced.
Lol this was in Germany, a country where the infrastructure is crumbling.
I love it
For me, the most important is to find and point the guilty accountable for this disaster. If we won't manage to point specific people guilty for it, the BER saga will happen again somewhere else.
joseph stalin design this airport in the 40s
Yes it is modern compared to any US airports
Im still dissapointed as hell. There are countries that build a whole airport in 2 - 5 years and we in germany cant do it in 30 years. Its so sad that mostly every construction project in germany is not on time and is always delayed 3 - 4 years. Look at ukraine for example, they build 2 new airports, one in 3 years (2017-2020, the new Odesa international airport) and one in 4 years (2016-2020, opened this year due to covid named Zaprozhia international airport). These two are smaller than berlins, but still can hold 4 million pessangers a year together. There is also a new Dnipropetrovsk airport in construction in the town dnipro, which should be finished till the end of this year, which is a complete new airport, which is way bigger than those two. There are also other countries like france, italy, russia and so on. Its just sad to see that such a big economy country in europe is not capable of planning a new building / airport, although the other countries like ukraine and russia are not even developed countries, which have many other problems too
reminds me of the CPH airport
Yes , it does.
The security control they have is from 2000’s you still need to take laptops and everything off, really slow and crammed
Berlin here I came ❤️
How does it work ? Can you be dropped off without risking death ? It’s it easy to find the check in desks ? Are the walks short ? Are the waiting lounges fit for a wait during a delayed flight ? Most visitors will not notice the floors unless they slip on them they will notice the distance to the terminals. Somehow you have managed to mention the floors and not the distance to the terminals.
It looks a bit ugly to me. But I mean, it's just an airport, not a museum.
I noticed, at least for the UK, it seems new buildings have stopped being as curvy as they were in the 2000's and seem to use more brick or cladding. Tbh though, lots of new buildings, just regular buildings, look super generic and souless imo.
Yeah, Heathrow terminal 5 looks so uninspired. There's very little uniqueness to it apart from the large led screens and the underground train. It lacks any artistic design because the designers focused only on functionality. Now, airports in Beijing, Mumbai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Bengaluru, Dubai and now even Los Angeles are caring way more about beauty
Looks nice.
So dull and grey. Are they trying to bring East Germany back?
Pssh east german Schönefeld airport is better than this
What types of electrical shocks are people getting there? Is it just static shocks or is it the type of electrical shock that comes from touching live wire?
The design of BER was already out-of-date long before it finally opened... during a pandemic of all times 😒 should have just waited a few more years.
Es freue mich sehr um der neue Flughafen, aber ich möchte Tegel auch. Schönefeld ist zu weit von meine zuhause
Still better than old Laguardia.
It looks too plain. It looks more like a museum or a library. It’s not ugly but with all the money spent they could design something more aesthetically appealing.
The airport look practical to be honest.If you recall how KIX apo,St. Marteen Apo and numerous of other apo that built in the bizzare locations.As long its safe and can hold for the next 100 years without any major issues,I honestly think its good enough.But of course in my language they always say, "Rumah siap,Pahat berbunyi".
the one which is in use it is old , you need this urgently
In comparison to Tegel and Schönefeld this is an improvement. However!!! I’ve flown once from this airport and it was not exactly what I would call a flawless experience. Getting from the airport parking bus transfer was a tedious experience and when I arrived in the main front entrance I found it to be incredibly unclear how to navigate the airport building to the check in area. And then you arrive at the check in area. Silly layout and completely unpractical.
The security was also a joke. Being told to go through once entrance point only to be told to move to another and then another…..and so on!!!!! Prefer Leipzig or Munich
Hopefully now Berlin finally has an airport that can hold a candle to Frankfurt
thanks for the laugh
Not even close. It's considerably smaller than Munich. Berlin wanted an Airport large enough to become a Hub for European Domestic Air Traffic but still too small to be considered fully Intercontinental like Frankfurt and Munich.
Berlin is not somewhere in between Hamburg and Cologne.
Actually the BER airport is combined with schonefeld is gone by the 2 biggest and in a few years maybe the biggest
Without Air Berlin to fill it as a hub, it will take ages for BER to become one of the biggest airports in Germany. Easyjet filled the gap a bit though
@@aripaco6000 The BER has no big airline exept easyJet who are using the BER as a hub. Frankfurt and Munich are why bigger and are used by Lufthansa as hubs.
The BER will only get one long range flight in the near futuer.
Finde das Ding sieht aus wie 1960er Jahre Architektur
2:58 Klassische Architektur. Das wäre es doch mal!
Ein Flughafen im Stile des 19. Jahrhunderts. Gibt es weltweit bestimmt auch noch nicht.
2:58 Classic Architecture. This would be a nice idea!
An airport in a 19th Century - style. Doesn't exist yet as far as I know.
04:07 AHRG!! ICH HAB REINGESCHAUT!
Waiting statement entries??
Very typical, by modern standards, design. Faceless straight glass forms. Gigantism with hints of the imperial past (despite the fact that the Germans are embarrassed in every possible way by their former monumentalism in architecture). There is no zest, like the same Tempelhof with this canopy or Tegel.
In my opinion, the most important thing in such projects is a balanced approach, when there are unique solutions, and scope, and most importantly, convenience for passengers - users, when the functionality is thought out!
I didn't see it here, unfortunately. Huge spaces, unnecessary long escalator lines between levels, endless exits to the boarding gates, and of course, an absolutely failed security check area.
When you get into such a modern and well-thought-out building, it turns out to be a disaster for you to see a queue for 40-50 minutes before the "security check". I'm sorry, but this is not acceptable! (
Очень типовой, по современным меркам, дизайн. Безликие прямые стеклянные формы. Гигантизм с намёками на имперское прошлое (при том, что немцы всячески стесняются своего былого монументализма в архитектуре). Нету изюминки, как у того же Темпельхофа с сего навесом или Тигеля.
На мой взгляд, самое важное в таких проектах - сбалансированный подход, когда есть и уникальные решения, и размах, и самое главное, удобство для пассажиров - пользователей, когда продумана функциональность!
Здесь я этого не заметил, к сожалению. Огромные пространства, ненужные долгие эскалаторные линии между уровнями, бесконечные выходы к посадочным воротам, и конечно, абсолютно провальная зона проверки безопасности.
Когда ты попадаешь в такое внешне современное и продуманное здание, для тебя оказывается катастрофой увидеть очередь на 40-50 минут перед "security check". Простите, но это не приемлемо! (
Germans should have awarded the design and construction contract to UAE Arabs and they would've given a marvel to Germany in record time. This is what they are best at.
It looks fine. Not perfect but not horrible.
