Airlift Memorial, Memorial monument at Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Germany
The concrete and bronze monument reaches 20 meters in height with a width of 7 meters near the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin.
The memorial, inaugurated in 1951, commemorates the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949 when Allied forces supplied West Berlin during the Soviet ground blockade.
The three curved structures of the monument represent the air corridors used by American, British, and French forces during the Berlin Blockade.
The memorial stands at Platz der Luftbrücke, offering wheelchair access and information panels about the historical events of the Berlin Airlift.
Identical replicas of this Eduard Ludwig design exist in Frankfurt am Main and Celle, marking the main bases used during the airlift operations.
