History Gallery

The so-called History Gallery is a project close to the heart of Tempelhof Projekt GmbH. It will make the THF more accessible and open it to visitors from all over the world. The plan is to create an exhibition that connects the sixth floor of the THF TOWER with the first stair tower. The highlight will be the rooftop pergola, which will be open to the public and offer visitors exciting views of the airport building as well as new perspectives on Tempelhofer Field.

Current Project Status & Milestones

In May 2024, the expression of interest for the federal “KulturInvest” program was submitted, and the project was deemed eligible for funding by the BKM. The first milestone followed in July 2025: a coordination meeting between the BKM, SenStadt, and THP, during which the framework conditions between the federal and state governments were agreed upon. In March 2026, Staab Architekten was selected to handle the general planning for the project, so the project is now in the planning phase with the goal of submitting the funding application to the federal “KulturInvest” program before the end of 2026.
