Tempelhofer Feld: Berlin’s Largest Urban Open Space.

Discover History, Conservation, and the Future of a Landmark on a Guided Tour

Tempelhof Central Airport ceased operations in 2008. Since then, the Tempelhofer Feld, covering 360 hectares (890 acres), has become Berlin’s largest inner-city recreational and green space — and a unique example of transforming historic infrastructure into vibrant public space.

Today, the field is a hub for sports, leisure, barbecuing, urban gardening, and large-scale open-air events. Diverse — and sometimes conflicting — uses are coordinated by the “Feldrat” (Field Council) to balance recreation, nature conservation, and event management.

Tour highlights include:

• History and transformation of the former airport

• Planning and usage concepts since 2008

• Nature conservation and maintenance plans for local flora and fauna

• Stakeholders and participation structures, including the Field Council

• Current urban development debates on proposed housing projects by the Berlin Senate

👉   This tour explores both the historic significance of the site and its role in urban climate adaptation, recreation, and civic engagement.
