Visitors often find themselves disoriented in this complex, where even navigation systems struggle amidst the imposing architecture. Thanks to our prime location in the former gatehouse, though, we are the natural spot for visitors to approach seeking information.

Over the past two years, the Torhaus has become a testing ground for community uses. In addition to being a natural point of contact for walkers, tourists and visitors to the airport building, it has also become a central point of participation for civil society. Here, Berliners are invited to get involved in community processes. Small-scale experiments are being conducted to see how self-organization structures can grow and how cooperative planning can be implemented. The Torhaus will be the central point of contact for the involvement of civil society in the future planning process and the identification of needs.

Our projects Hangar X, Action Day, Torhaus Festival and Torhaus Travel deal with the future of the airport building.
