To the Motif Rental

The development of Tempelhofer Feld was and still is primarily in the hands of the people of Berlin. With the development and maintenance plan (EPP) for the Tempelhofer Feld, a permanent participation model was also developed. The pillars of the participation model are field coordination, thematic workshops and field forums.

To the participation page

The development and maintenance plan (EPP), which was worked out together with the citizens, provides the framework for the development of the Tempelhofer Feld. The main focus is on measures to create and secure barrier-free access, the redesign and increase of the efficiency of the entrance areas and the qualified development of recreational, leisure and sports facilities in the peripheral areas of Tempelhofer Feld.

To the current measures

In a referendum in 2014, the people of Berlin voted against building on the edges of the Tempelhofer Feld and in favour of preserving it in its current state. As a result, the "Law for the Preservation of Tempelhofer Feld" (ThFG) came into force in June 2014, which defines the purpose of protection and the preservation goals. The corridors of action for the further development of Tempelhofer Feld were defined in the Development and Maintenance Plan (EPP).

About the development
