Tegel, District in northern Reinickendorf, Berlin, Germany
The district extends across 5 square kilometers of land, formerly housing Berlin's main airport until 2020, now undergoing extensive redevelopment plans.
The area gained prominence during the 1948 Berlin Airlift when Allied forces constructed an airfield to support West Berlin during the Soviet blockade.
Tegel's transformation from military grounds to civilian airport reflects Berlin's evolution through Cold War divisions to modern urban development.
The Urban Tech Republic project will create 20,000 jobs and accommodate 2,500 university students in the former terminal building by 2028.
The Schumacher Quartier development within Tegel will establish housing for 10,000 residents while maintaining several historical airport structures.
