Where can you find a former air field, military parading ground, amusement park, Turkish cemetery, concentration camp and kite surfer’s paradise?! Not all at the same time, it’s Tempelhofer Feld of course!!!
We’re going through the history of this one incredible site which dates back over 800 years, starting on the fringes of what will become the metropolis of Berlin. Those lads coming back from the crusades need keeping somewhere out of trouble, and it all kicks off from there.
It would be especially fun to grab something nice to drink at the Späti and go for a wander whilst listening to this one but, we’d never tell you what to do!
⚠️ A small note for your ears: Jonny cacked up this recording so we had to use the backup. The second half of this episode might sound weird. You’ll manage.
