Tempelhof Airport is far more than a decommissioned airfield – it symbolizes Berlin’s tumultuous history. This guided tour allows you to explore the impressive architecture of the largest architectural monument in Europe and immerse yourself in the stories that have shaped this unique place.

Built in the 1930s as a prestige project of the Nazi regime, Tempelhof was originally part of Hitler's ambitions for a “World Capital Germania." During the Berlin Airlift in 1948/49, the airport then became a lifeline for West Berlin and a worldwide symbol of freedom. After World War II, the U.S. armed forces used the site as a military base. Until its closure in 2008, Tempelhof also served as an important hub for civil aviation.

Today, Tempelhof Airport is a unique testimony to Berlin’s urban and global history, reflecting the dramatic turning points of the 20th century. The check-in halls, transit corridors, and spaces once used by Allied forces tell stories of power, resistance, and freedom. From the airport, visitors can also view Tempelhofer Feld, now a popular public park and a modern space for recreation and community. Tempelhof is a place where past and present merge.
