Tempelhofer Feld

Tempelhofer Feld (English: Templehof Field) is an area in Berlin that was used for military practice, and a parade ground of the Berlin garrison. It belonged to the Tempelhofer Oberland on the plateau of the Teltow south of Berlin. Tempelhofer Feld is closely linked to German military, aviation and German football history. With the exception of the Tempelhof Park on the site of the former Tempelhof Airport, it is today built upon. Since the cessation of flight operations in 2008, the name Tempelhofer Feld is used for the undeveloped area between the Volkspark Hasenheide and the Ringbahn.

Shortly after the closure of the airport, the space was opened as Tempelhofer Park, a recreational area in Berlin districts Neukölln and Tempelhof. It is located on the traditional Tempelhofer Feld called Teltow plateau on the level, covers 355 hectares of the site of the former Tempelhof Airport, making it the largest inner city open space in the world, Berlin's largest city park and part of the project, which was also named Tempelhofer Freiheit for a time and includes the buildings and the apron of the former airport.

The park is accessible from sunrise to sunset and can be accessed via ten entrances. Six of them are located at the eastern end of the runways and are located on the Neuköllner Oder Road, as well as one at the Tempelhof station, at the Parade Street Underground Station at Tempelhofer Damm and at the Columbiadamm in the height of the 1866 Islamic cemetery with the Şehitlik Mosque and the Golßener Straße.Dieser Park ist jeweils von Sonnenaufgang bis Sonnenuntergang zugänglich und kann über zehn Eingänge betreten werden.
