Berlin Tempelhof Airport

Tempelhof Airport was one of the first airports in Berlin, Germany, operating from 1923 until 2008. It was known for its iconic pre-World War II architecture, its role in the Berlin Airlift, and for having the then-world’s smallest duty-free shop.

The airport closed in 2008 after a referendum and despite protests to keep it open. The former airfield has since been converted into a recreational space called Tempelhofer Feld while the airport has also been used for Formula E races, and Tempelhof Sounds, a three-day rock music event.
