Tracing the Nazi history of Tempelhof Airport 1933-1945
A dialogical exploration of the National Socialist history of the site

Tempelhof Airport is one of the most important surviving buildings of National Socialist Germany. Its monumental architecture was intended to give the "Third Reich's" claim to power and eternity an unquestionable form. However, the airport was only completed after the Second World War - by the American occupying forces. In the decades that followed, Tempelhof Airport became "Berlin's gateway to the world", first during the Airlift and later as a transport link to West Berlin.

This guided tour sheds light on the older, partly overlapping layers of its history: its planned function as an instrument of power with regard to the National Socialist "Volksgemeinschaft", its military role in the German air war, armaments production by means of forced labor and Tempelhof's significance as a central site of "early terror" during the National Socialist conquest of power.

Please note the following:

Due to the structural conditions, the guided tours are unfortunately not barrier-free. A good basic level of fitness is required due to the longer distances and various stairs.
