Welcome!
With the closure of Tegel Airport, Berlin gained an exceptionally large amount of free space – and with it a unique historic opportunity: on the enormous site, the state-owned company Berlin TXL Management GmbH is developing a new urban district from the ground up, a model district for sustainable urban innovation, Berlin TXL.
Der rote Faden des Nachnutzungskonzepts ist die Vision einer besseren, lebenswerten und sozialen Stadt, einer Stadt für die Menschen – hochmodern und innovativ. Neue Ansätze und Methoden flossen in die Planungen ein, und Fachleute der verschiedensten Disziplinen entwickeln Hand in Hand ganzheitliche Lösungen, die Berlin TXL einzigartig machen.
In 2021, the green light was given for the urban development project, which ranks among the largest and most ambitious in the whole of Europe. The neighbourhood will provide space for science and business, as well as thousands of much-needed homes – surrounded by plenty of nature and leisure facilities thanks to the adjacent Tegeler Stadtheide, just 15 minutes from Berlin city centre.
The future on 500 hectares|
Urban Tech Republic
The triad of science, research and industry on their own innovation campus is something special: here in the Urban Tech Republic, future urban technologies will be researched, developed, produced, tested and exported. Science and research meet industry and commerce, and start-ups meet investors, with everyone working together on solutions for the cities of the future. The Berliner Hochschule für Technik will move into Terminal A with 2,500 students. Space for up to 1,000 large and smaller companies is being created in the commercial area and industrial park, providing 20,000 jobs.
Schumacher Quartier
Smart and affordable: in the Schumacher Quartier, more than 5,000 flats for over 10,000 people are being built on a site covering around 46 hectares. The quarter will also feature nurseries, schools, commercial premises and extensive green spaces and open areas. Plans include, amongst other things, buildings constructed using hybrid timber construction methods, a rainwater management system based on the ‘sponge city’ principle, a low-exergy network for heat supply, and a low-car mobility concept featuring mobility hubs, car-sharing and bike-sharing schemes. Furthermore, measures to promote biodiversity form an integral part of the planning. Affordable housing in this area will be developed exclusively by organisations dedicated to the public good; 35–40 per cent of future rents will be subsidised.
Tegeler Stadtheide
The expansive landscape of the Tegeler Stadtheide bridges the gap between the city and nature and completes the forward-looking concept of Berlin TXL. Grün Berlin GmbH, a company owned by the state, is responsible for the phased redevelopment of the former runway and apron. Spanning a prospective area of 220 hectares, this nature and landscape conservation area will become an innovative open space offering opportunities for leisure activities and research.
Cité Pasteur / TXL Nord
Cité Pasteur and TXL Nord offer the potential for an additional 4,000 homes.
