Changed opening hours
Dear visitors,
Dear visitors, From July 28, 2025, the THF TOWER will be partially closed. This is due to a busy event schedule in the fall and winter months, during which the THF TOWER will be open on selected dates, as well as the installation of a new exhibition on the 6th floor at the beginning of 2026.
The THF TOWER will be open to visitors free of charge on selected weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You can find more information about the program in our event calendar:
November 1 + 2, 2025
November 8 + 9, 2025
November 15 + 16, 2025
November 22 + 23, 2025
November 29 + 30, 2025
The THF Tower is one of the first parts of the building at Tempelhof Airport to be renovated to make it barrier-free and offers our guests an unforgettable visit experience. On the wood-panelled roof terrace you can enjoy the view over the city and the fields and be a little closer to the Berlin sky. The historic and statically renewed staircase, which seems to float on the historic building, leads you to the exhibition area on the 6th floor.
THF TOWER: A monument above the rooftops of Berlin
The staircase of the THF TOWER is an architectural statement: originally only partially constructed, it was fitted with an impressive suspended steel staircase during the renovation. The steel staircase was suspended from the roof structure of the main staircase. Fourteen sturdy tie rods are anchored in a solid steel frame for this purpose.
View over Berlin: The roof terrace of the THF TOWER
Once at the top, visitors are rewarded with a magnificent view over the city, allowing them to enjoy their own piece of Berlin sky. The view over Tempelhofer Feld and the vast cityscape makes the roof terrace an impressive vantage point in Berlin.
The eponymous former glass air traffic control tower rises above the building and shapes its unmistakable silhouette. Even from a distance, the THF TOWER is visible as a special monument – a modern vantage point with historical character.
THF TOWER opening hours
The THF TOWER is currently open to visitors free of charge on selected Saturdays and Sundays. Please check the event calendar for the latest opening dates.
We offer group visits from Monday to Friday. We kindly ask groups to register in advance at thf-tower@thf-berlin.de.
The roof terrace may be closed at short notice due to weather conditions.
The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building as part of the “National Urban Development Projects” program. In addition, the Berlin House of Representatives is making the construction work possible with SIWA (special fund infrastructure for the growing city).
