Tempelhofer Feld

The open paved and grassy areas support walking, cycling, skating, sport, picnics, gardening, and other civic projects. [1]

Admission is free, no booking is needed for a normal visit, and the official site recommends public transport because parking is very limited. [1]

A normal visit costs 0 EUR, while organised events and permitted activities can have separate costs in the price check on 2026-08-02. [1]

Cycling and skating are allowed on paved areas, dogs must be leashed outside designated areas, and barbecues are allowed only in three designated zones. [1]

UNVERIFIED estimate: allow 1.5 to 3 hours for a short visit and 3 to 5 hours for a longer field circuit because there is no standard visit duration. [1]

The current opening hours are 06:00 to 23:00 in June and July, 06:00 to 22:30 in August, 06:30 to 21:30 in September, and shorter in winter. [1]

Warm, dry weather supports the field’s sports and picnic uses, while wind and rain can make the exposed open space uncomfortable. [1]

The official 2026 update says preliminary planning for a Tempelhofer Damm subarea is paused in 2026 and 2027 because of budget limits, with funds shifted to maintenance and safety. [1]

The field serves walkers, cyclists, skaters, sports users, families, picnickers, gardeners, and visitors interested in the airport history. [1][2]

People seeking shade, shelter, or a compact indoor attraction should avoid the field in poor weather because much of the site is open air and exposed. [1]

Protected skylark areas are marked on the official park map, and the field is managed as both a recreation area and habitat for protected plants and animals. [1][2]

Disposable footless barbecues and gas barbecues are prohibited, even though barbecuing is possible in designated areas. [1]

The name Tempelhofer Feld reaches back to the thirteenth century, the area had military use from 1722, and the first airport opened in 1923. [1]

The airport finally closed in 2008, and the public park opened in 2010. [1]

Berlin voters approved preserving the field in a referendum on 2014-05-25, and the preservation law took effect on 2014-06-25. [1]

The current site continues to frame the field’s legal purpose as nature protection and public recreation. [1]
