Berliners have said a fond farewell to one of the last symbols of the city’s post-war division, with the closure of the airport that for decades was their gateway to the free world. Tegel was more than just an airport, it was a vital lifeline for West Berlin, which at the end of WWII was surrounded by communist controlled areas and the subject of a long blockade by Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union. In 1975, a year after the opening of a new hexagonal terminal, Tegel became Berlin’s busiest airport.

Berlin’s digital streaming initiative to preserve its famous club culture during COVID-19 has turned into an international success, supporting artists and clubs around the world. United We Stream was created in Berlin by Club Commission and Reclaim Club Culture as a fundraising campaign in response to the closure of clubs in March last year.
