I would assume those who want it closed is not on the grounds of the past.
Loc al resident sliving in the airports noise zone want it closed. The rest of the city want it open: business, and other travellers as well. Not only is the new airport already now deficitary in size, it also is qwuite far outside the city, and the traffic connection also is a terrible miscalculation. Tegel on the othe rhand is a bit like London City airport, quite central in the city, and traffic-wise well connected. It now is technically behind, because in expectation of seeing it being shut down anyway already five years ago, no investements in technical maintenance were allowed.

And Tempelhof is gone as well.

BER is a running gag. It costs millions every day to just be there, unused, silent, and not being worked on. Since years. Berlin gets heavily subsidised by other federal states - but it wants ever more and more to pay for its dreamdance ballets.
