Platz der Luftbrücke, Cultural heritage monument near Tempelhof Airport, Berlin, Germany
The square features a central monument with three curved arches representing the air corridors used during the Berlin Airlift operation.
The plaza received its name on June 25, 1949, commemorating the Berlin Airlift that sustained West Berlin during the Soviet blockade of 1948-1949.
The monument at the center of the square serves as a memorial to the 78 individuals who lost their lives during the Berlin Airlift operations.
The square functions as a major transport hub, connecting the north-south Bundesstraße 96 with the east-west routes of Columbiadamm and Dudenstraße.
An eagle head sculpture near the airport entrance remains from a larger statue that originally held a globe atop the terminal building.
