What this video omits is that Tempelhof was a synonym of freedom in the Eastern Block. Despite its awful origins, it served as a gateway of West Berliners and many Eastern European refugees to the world. So, the airport had a very long, bright history after WWII.
Not all of its past was nazi controlled after the Nazis were defeated in 1945 they turned it into a commercial airport till it was closed in 2008 due to a new airport coming to play
This place is unic, it is just amazing, and you can see the families, papas & mamas teaching FREEDOM to their children from the existence of that space. It should be taken as an example. You can't always sell your soul to capitalism. Bravo Berlin !
Berlin should honestly fill the area with trees. Just imagine a huuge forest in the middle of Berlin, how good for the climate and the air in the city. It would be so cool to wander around and escape in what feels like being away in nature, but you are in Berlin
eN3RD If we hadn't voted against "developing" it, all they would have put there would be more shopping malls which we have more than enough of in Berlin. No thank you. New York has a massive park right in the middle of Manhattan as well and nobody calls that a waste, right? In a big city like that people need some green spaces, too.
I think this is a good idea. Let go of the horrible past and start a bright new future.

The home of the wunder waffe is gone
Out of all the things to convert it to... Why a park?
Seems like a waste to me
I love the idea of a park. What would you have done?

eN3RD so people can go outside instead of sitting in front of their pc the whole day!
