Tempelhof

Tempelhof is known to most people because of the now defunct Tempelhof Airport. The district is characterized by smaller apartment buildings and single-family houses as well as commercial and industrial buildings. However, there are also residential areas with beautiful old Gründerzeit buildings scattered along tree-lined streets.

Tempelhof is home to a wide variety of people from differen social backgrounds, nationalities and cultures. This is reflected in the small shops, bistros and restaurants that can be found next to the department store and the more exclusive stores on Tempelhof's popular shopping mile, Tempelhofer Damm. In the immediate vicinity, the new shopping center Tempelhofer Hafen has opened its gates directly on the Teltow Canal. It is located near the cultural center ufaFabrik. The Mariendorf trotting course is also well-known beyond Tempelhof.

Tempelhof belongs to the administrative district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg. Tempelhof itself is divided into the districts of Tempelhof, Lichtenrade, Mariendorf, and Marienfelde.
