Here you will find all further information on the area, as well as an overview of the documents to be submitted:

Since March 2022, part of the former airport grounds has been used as a reception and emergency shelter for refugees. The living conditions on site are marked by great uncertainty and difficult circumstances—especially in light of repeated public criticism of the conditions there. This reality must be taken into account in future planning and requires a particularly sensitive approach to the site. To make the TXL model area more inclusive, people from the neighborhood and those with diverse life experiences should be involved and considered in the design of community projects, cultural offerings, and spaces for encounter. It is important to take into account the needs and perspectives of those who already live in the neighborhood. We envision a vibrant, open, and supportive place that enables cultural and social participation.
