There is the same discussion in Helsinki, the city wants to build on the old Malmi airfield.
They have a site and petition going in English also.

Still in the days of West and East Berlin, I ate at the USAF Templehoff Officers' club once. They had the worst food in Berlin.

Maybe typical Zeitgeist. Where there is no sense of self-identity, there cannot be any understanding of symbolic meaning.

I still can hear the humming of the American Hercules flying over our home, already at very deep altitude, like giant hornets. Neither these nor any other planes will be heared at Tempelhof again...

I am surprised myself how deep this story stings my heart, but for whatever the reason may be: it does.
