airport_desc | Berlin Tempelhof Airport, historically known as Flughafen Berlin-Tempelhof, was one of the key airports in Berlin, Germany. It held significant historical relevance and was renowned for its unique architectural design, including a large, curved terminal building that was one of the largest structures in the world when completed. Opened in the mid-1920s, Tempelhof was a pivotal location during the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949, providing crucial supply routes during the Soviet blockade. The airport ceased operations in 2008, transitioning into a public park known as Tempelhofer Feld, which preserves the legacy of this iconic aviation site. It sat at an altitude of 167 feet, serving as both a commercial and military hub throughout its active years. |
