Tegel: Süd

Tegel Süd is defined by its proximity to Tegel Airport’s former site and ongoing redevelopment into residential and mixed-use areas. Tegel Süd is shaped above all by the visible overlap of former industrial, railway or infrastructural land with new housing, offices and public space. In Tegel Süd, the daily character emerges through surviving large-scale structures, successive construction phases and new everyday routes through formerly specialised sites. Tegel Süd lies in the borough of Reinickendorf, about 11 km northwest of central Berlin. The transitions from Tegel Süd toward Waldidyll/Flughafensee and Alt-Tegel are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The character of Tegel Süd is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Within Tegel, Tegel Süd stands out through the continuity between an older working landscape and new urban life.
