The dream of flying is fulfilled. Time for new dreams.
The Urban Tech Republic is being built on the site of the former Tegel Airport. This is where urban technologies are researched, developed, produced, tested and exported. This is where science and research meet industry and commerce and start-ups meet investors. And everyone is working together on solutions for the city of tomorrow.
A new, smart residential district is being built in the immediate vicinity: the Schumacher Quartier. It will offer over 5,000 apartments for more than 10,000 people – along with the associated facilities such as schools, daycare centers, sports facilities and plenty of green space. As a sustainable and socially mixed area, it will make an important contribution to Berlin's strategy for housing construction and urban development.
In total, the entire Berlin TXL area (residential quarters, innovation park and landscape park) covers an area of around 5 km2 – the equivalent of 700 soccer pitches.
