Berlin-Tempelhof 1935

EDDI 1935 BERLIN TEMPELHOF Berlin-Tempelhof airport, opened in 1923, is one of the very first in Germany. On January 6, 1926, Deutsche Luft Hansa A.G. was founded as a result of the merger of Junkers Luftverkehr AG and Deutsche Aero Lloyd. Tempelhof became its headquarters. The terminal was expanded to include new facilities: a restaurant run by Mitropa, a terrace for visitors, and a hotel (Flughafenhotel). By the time the work was completed in 1928, it was clear that the new facilities were not sufficient to cope with the rapid growth in traffic. As early as 1930, a new project for the expansion of Tempelhof Airport was adopted, but this is another story.
