Episode description

In this episode we have a glimpse on the fascinating history of Tempelhofer Feld, once the site of Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. Originally a military parade ground, the airport became famous for its role in the Berlin Airlift during the Cold War. After its closure in 2008, the area was transformed into one of the largest urban parks in the world. Today, Tempelhofer Feld offers space for cycling, kite-flying, jogging, and community gardening. The hosts also discuss its cultural significance as a hub for concerts, festivals, and art, while highlighting the successful 2014 referendum that preserved the park as an open space. #berlin #tempelhof #airport #sightseeing
