Lonely Planet review

This Nazi-built airport is reportedly the world's second-largest building after the Pentagon, but its ties to aviation go back to its airfield days. In 1909 Orville Wright set a world record right here when flying his aircraft 172m above ground. Tempelhof had its finest hour during the 1948 Berlin Airlift . There are plans to close it, but the decision isn't final yet.
