TEMPELHOF - STORY OF A CROSSROADS OF THE AIR

West Berlin's central airport closed to civil aviation on September 1, 1975. The uniqueness of this airport is related to its location within the heart of a densely populated metropolis. At an early stage of Berlin's urban development the territory in question had been set aside as a military exercise and parade ground. After the First World War, it was decided to make the area available as an airport. The history of the Tempelhof Airport which, for some time, was to occupy the first place among the European airports, is discussed.
