The former Tegel airport makes way for Berlin. On the 500-hectare site, a research and industrial park for urban technologies – the Urban Tech Republic – and a new residential district, the Schumacher Quartier, are being developed. The Schumacher Quartier will provide a home for more than 10,000 people, designed to be climate-neutral, resilient, and socially diverse. With its high sustainability standards, this urban development project is among the most ambitious in Europe.
The State of Berlin has entrusted Tegel Projekt GmbH with the development and management of both the Urban Tech Republic and the Schumacher Quartier. The company employs over 100 staff members and has a clear objective: to position itself strategically for sustainability and achieve climate neutrality by 2045.
