Situated in the south-central Berlin borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, the airport ceased operating in 2008 amid controversy, leaving Tegel and Schönefeld as the two main airports serving the city, with the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport still under construction as of 2015. Tempelhof was designated as an airport by the Ministry of Transport on 8 October 1923. The old terminal was originally constructed in 1927. In anticipation of increasing air traffic, the Nazi government began a massive reconstruction in the mid-1930s. While it was occasionally cited as the world's oldest operating commercial airport, the title was disputed by several other airports, and is no longer an issue since its closure. Tempelhof was one of Europe's three iconic pre-World War II airports, the others being London's now defunct Croydon Airport and the old Paris – Le Bourget Airport. It acquired a further iconic status as the centre of the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49. One of the airport's most distinctive features is its massive, canopy-style roof extending over the tarmac, able to accommodate most contemporary airliners in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s, protecting passengers from the elements. Tempelhof Airport's main building was once among the top 20 largest buildings on earth; in contrast, it formerly had the world's smallest duty-free shop.〔''Airports International June 1975 (industry magazine)''〕 Tempelhof Airport closed all operations on 30 October 2008, despite the efforts of some protesters to prevent the closure.〔(''Crowds Bid Fond Farewell to Airport That Saved Berlin'', New York Times, October 30, 2008 )〕 A non-binding referendum was held on 27 April 2008 against the impending closure but failed due to low voter turnout. Up until September 2015, the former airfield was used as a recreational space for the people from Berlin known as "Tempelhofer Feld".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tea-after-twelve.com/all-issues/issue-01/issue-01-overview/chapter4/tempelhofer-feld// )〕 In that month however, it was announced that Tempelholf would become an emergency refugee camp for the foreseeable future. ==Overview== Tempelhof was often called the "City Airport". In its later years, it mostly had commuter flights to other parts of Germany and neighbouring countries; but it had in the past received long-haul, wide-bodied airliners, such as the Boeing 747,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Photos: Boeing 747-121 Aircraft Pictures - Airliners.net )〕 the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Photos: Lockheed L-1011-385-1 TriStar 1 Aircraft Pictures - Airliners.net )〕 and the Lockheed C-5A Galaxy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Photos: Lockheed C-5A Galaxy (L-500) Aircraft Pictures - Airliners.net )〕 The first of the former three first appeared at Tempelhof on 18 September 1976, when Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) flew in Boeing 747SP ''Clipper Great Republic'' to participate in the static exhibition of contemporary military, non-combat and civil aircraft at the annual "Day of Open House" of the United States Air Force (USAF) at the airport. The latter had its first appearance at Tempelhof on 17 September 1971, when an aircraft of the USAF's 436th Military Airlift Wing flew in from Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, United States, to participate in that year's "Day of Open House" static exhibition. These events respectively marked the debut at Tempelhof of the largest aircraft in commercial airline service at the time and the then-largest aircraft overall. It had two parallel runways. Runway 09L/27R was 2,094 metres (6,870 ft) long and runway 09R/27L was 1,840 m (6,037 ft). Both were paved with asphalt. The taxiway was in the shape of an oval around these two runways, with a single terminal on the north side of the airport. Other possible uses for Tempelhof have been discussed, and many people are trying to keep the airport buildings preserved. In September 2015, in the midst of the 2015 European migrant crisis, it was announced by the Berlin state government that Tempelhof would become an 'emergency refugee shelter', holding at least 1,200 people in two former hangers.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Berlin Tempelhof Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
