The plans haven't been updated as far as I can tell, as posted earlier there is hope that an investor will be found for the Alexa tower.

According to some articles I read, they hope to secure an investor within the next 5 months? Hines may take up the option to build the tower beside the current building of the Mitte, however, with the current finacial crisis who knows what will happen now?

We'll only see progress over the next year once the Hines building is finished.

If they give the go-ahead to demolish the plinth area aroud the Park Inn, especially to the East of the Park Inn, then we should see the go-ahead for construction of D3, as Saturn will be vacating this area to move into the Hines building by Spring of 2009!

Auf Wiedersehen, Tempelhof

Despite the cold, wet weather, up to 500 protesters gathered outside Tempelhof to vent their anger at the closure of the airport.

It was a last show of strength by campaigners who had fought a series of legal battles over the past decade to save Tempelhof.

Holding candles, they didn't seem too bothered by the cold or the police.

One man screamed, "If the Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, has guts, then tell him to come out here."

The protesters say they won't give up.

"We still have a couple of legal challenges pending," said Rainer Classe, a campaigner. "We're also trying to get Tempelhof listed as a Unesco World Heritage site - the airport would finally get the recognition that it deserves."

Inside the massive terminal, the authorities had thrown a big party as a send-off for Tempelhof. The local TV channel RBB set up a large stage and the whole event was broadcast live.

But as hundreds of local VIPs, the mayor of Berlin and officials popped open the champagne bottles, it seemed odd that they were celebrating the closure of the airport.

'Really sad day'

All day long, curious Berliners came to Tempelhof to catch a glimpse of the airport. Many brought their cameras and they took pictures of the vast, echoing hall and the imposing architecture.

Last flight departs from Tempelhof Airport

A few businessmen rushed to catch the last flights. For many people, Tempelhof was always the ideal inner-city airport - it used to serve short-haul commercial flights.

One passenger, Joerg said: "It's a really sad day. Tempelhof is special, there's so much history here. It's a mistake to shut it down.

"It's not like other modern airports, there's no stress here, it's lovely and relaxing. I love the nostalgic atmosphere here."

Pilots and crew members were also feeling sad and nostalgic.

One stewardess said: "I just can't believe it, it's such a shame that they're shutting the Tempelhof. It's part of German history and the authorities are closing it, why on earth are they doing this?", she asked.

"We used to fly out of Tempelhof, it's a great airport. Everything is accessible. The ways are short from the check-in desks to the gates and from the gates to the planes," said Alexander Rodger, the ground operations manager at the airline Germania.

"It's an awful decision to close Tempelhof. They didn't encourage airlines to use the airport and it's hardly surprising that it was running up losses."

Glorious past

It's a far cry from the past. Tempelhof played a crucial role during the Berlin Airlift.

From June 1948, hundreds of Allied aircraft landed at Tempelhof. The planes dropped coal, food, medicine and other supplies to the residents of West Berlin, which had been cut off by the Soviet Union.

At the height of the airlift, one Allied aircraft landed at Tempelhof every 90 seconds. The Airlift was an extraordinary humanitarian operation and it kept people alive in West Berlin for 11 months until the Soviet Union ended the blockade.

As a reminder of the airport's rich history, an old "candy bomber" DC-3 took off from Tempelhof on Thursday night ("Candy bomber" was the name given to the crews who dropped sweets attached to parachutes to German children during the Airlift).

Uncertain future

So why is Tempelhof closing?

The Berlin government has always argued that the airport has run up huge losses. They claim that they have to shut Tempelhof to make way for a new airport at the site of Schoenefeld airport, south of Berlin.

The new Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BBI), is due to open in 2011.

"Tempelhof has been losing so much money, it made losses of 150 million euros over the past few years. We have to close it and we're also building a new international airport for Berlin at Schoenefeld," said Ralf Kunkel, a Berlin airport spokesman.

"It is a step towards the concentration of all air traffic at the new airport, BBI, and it's a step into the future," he said.

So what's going to happen to Tempelhof?

The sad truth is that no-one has a clue.

"It's up to the Berlin senate to find a solution for this old building and the airfield," Ralf Kunkel said.

But so far, the Berlin authorities haven't made any decision.

The building will be preserved because it's a listed property, yet there's no concrete plan.

Lots of ideas have been bandied about - there are plans to build a huge housing estate, a park, a museum, a film studio, a zoo or a football stadium.

For now, it's Auf Wiedersehen Tempelhof. It really is the end of an era.

great article S, sad day indeed, I just wonder if they would have kept it open if the commies built it?

Yet another despicable decision by our growing commy socialist states of Europe!

I'm actually surprised this survived!

I get confused here,wasn't this not a proposal of the Tryp hotel chain ??

Motel One-Hotel in der Lehrter Straße:

Dieses Hotel befindet sich direkt am nördlichen Ausgang des Lehrter Bahnhofes, des erst vor wenigen Monaten eingeweihten neuen Hauptbahnhofes von Berlin. Beim Blick aus dem Hotelfenster sieht man unmittelbar das Kanzleramt und das Reichtstagsgebäude.

Mit diesem Objekt realisieren wir nun bereits unser viertes Motel One-Hotel, wobei hier 515 Zimmer von uns gebaut werden. Damit setzt Herr Weyland wiederum sein Vertrauen in unser Unternehmen.

Die Auftragssumme bei diesem Projekt beträgt rund 17.000.000 €. Baubeginn ist am 01.10.2008, das Bauende am 28.02.2010.
