1930 1939 Aerial Aerial View Airport Berlin
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white aerial view of Tempelhof Airport in Berlin, circa 1930, takes us back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy. The photo showcases the architectural brilliance of Ernst Sagebiel, who remodeled the airport between 1936 and 1941. The image captures the vastness of Tempelhof Airport's grounds as planes sit neatly aligned on the tarmac below. It is a testament to Germany's commitment to transportation infrastructure during this era. The geometric precision of the runways and buildings is juxtaposed against the organic curves of surrounding roads and landscapes. As we gaze upon this archival print, we are transported into an era defined by progress and ambition. We can almost hear the hum of propellers echoing through our minds as planes take off into the sky above. Tempelhof Airport holds historical significance beyond its architectural grandeur; it witnessed key moments in German history throughout its existence. From serving as a hub for commercial flights to playing a pivotal role during World War II, this airport has seen it all. With every detail preserved in stunning black and white clarity, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Sagebiel's design and the rich history that unfolded within these walls. It serves as a reminder that even structures built for practical purposes can possess timeless beauty worth capturing on film.
