Tempelhof Airport (THF) is due to close on October 31, 2008.<br />
<br />
Berlin-Tempelhof Airport (IATA: THF, ICAO: EDDI) also known as Tempelhof Airport (German: Flughafen Tempelhof) is an airport in Berlin, Germany, situated in the south-central borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg. The airport is commonly known as Tempelhof.<br />
<br />
Designated by the ministry of transport on October 8, 1923, Tempelhof became the world's first airport with an underground railway station in 1927, now called Platz der Luftbrücke after the Berlin Airlift. While occasionally cited as the world's oldest still-operating commercial airport, Chicago's Midway Airport is the same age, and Sydney Airport in Sydney, Australia, predates it by three years.<br />
<br />
Tempelhof was one of Europe's three iconic pre-war airports — the others being London's old Croydon Airport and Paris Le Bourget. One of the airport's most distinguishing features is its large, canopy-style roof that was able to accommodate most contemporary airliners during its heyday in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s, thereby saving passengers from the elements. Tempelhof Airport's main building is the 20th largest building on earth. Tempelhof used to have the world's smallest duty-free shop.[1]<br />

Potsdamer Platz Arkaden.<br />
<br />
Potsdamer Platz<br />
is an important public square and traffic intersection in the centre of Berlin, Germany, lying about one kilometre south of the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag (German Parliament Building), and close to the southeast corner of the Tiergarten park. It is named after the city of Potsdam, some 25 km to the south west, and marks the point where the old road from Potsdam passed through the city wall of Berlin at the Potsdam Gate. After developing within the space of little over a century from an intersection of rural thoroughfares into the most bustling traffic intersection in Europe[citation needed], it was totally laid waste during World War II and then left desolate during the Cold War era when the Berlin Wall bisected its former location, but since the fall of the Wall it has risen again as a glittering new heart for the city and the most visible symbol of the new Berlin](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000kKvwpSolY5c/t/150/I0000kKvwpSolY5c.jpg)

Sony Center at night, Potsdamer Platz.<br />
<br />
The Sony Center is a Sony-sponsored building complex located at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany. It opened in 2000.<br />
<br />
The site was originally a bustling city center in the early 20th Century. After World War II, the area suffered a sharp decline and was eventually left abandoned. As part of a redevelopment effort for the area, the center was constructed. The centre was designed by Helmut Jahn and construction was completed in 2000 at a total cost of US$800M (approximately EU€860M). In February 2008 Sony sold Berlin's Sony Center for less than EU€600M (approximately US$880M) to a group of German and US investment funds, including investment bank Morgan Stanley, Corpus Sireo and an affiliate of The John Buck Company [1].](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000E721qBsShtQ/t/150/I0000E721qBsShtQ.jpg)

Tempelhof Airport (THF) is due to close on October 31, 2008.<br />
<br />
Berlin-Tempelhof Airport (IATA: THF, ICAO: EDDI) also known as Tempelhof Airport (German: Flughafen Tempelhof) is an airport in Berlin, Germany, situated in the south-central borough of Tempelhof-Sch??neberg. The airport is commonly known as Tempelhof.<br />
<br />
Designated by the ministry of transport on October 8, 1923, Tempelhof became the world's first airport with an underground railway station in 1927, now called Platz der Luftbr??cke after the Berlin Airlift. While occasionally cited as the world's oldest still-operating commercial airport, Chicago's Midway Airport is the same age, and Sydney Airport in Sydney, Australia, predates it by three years.<br />
<br />
Tempelhof was one of Europe's three iconic pre-war airports — the others being London's old Croydon Airport and Paris Le Bourget. One of the airport's most distinguishing features is its large, canopy-style roof that was able to accommodate most contemporary airliners during its heyday in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s, thereby saving passengers from the elements. Tempelhof Airport's main building is the 20th largest building on earth. Tempelhof used to have the world's smallest duty-free shop.[1]<br />
