In May 2025, the 11th anniversary of the referendum that established Tempelhofer Feld as a public space was celebrated. As part of these celebrations and to further raise awareness of the challenges facing the field, the first Tempelhof Write-In was held.



The result was a productive and inspiring afternoon. Everyone really enjoyed meeting so many people and seeing the passion for this special place. That's why they're doing it again!



What to expect:


This time, you have the unique opportunity to gather inside Flughafen Tempelhof’s Alte Feuerwache (old fire station).


Join a special day of creative workshops, presented by Architects for Tempelhofer Feld and writer Demi Anter, with the generous support of Torhaus Berlin e.V.


Workshops will be conducted in English. You are welcome to create in any language. Workshops are suitable for all experience levels. Beginners welcome!


For your enjoyment, please bring:

  • something to write with
  • something to draw with
  • a clipboard or book as a surface to write on
  • clothes that are comfortable to move in
  • your Tempelhof memories

Refreshments will be available to purchase from the bar, as well as copies of A4THF's collaborative Tempelhofer Feld issue with Arts of the Working Class magazine.


Sessions and facilitators:

  • Learn about the Tempelhofer Feld Ideas Competition, with Architects4THF.
  • Practice new approaches to writing about place and history, as we document our personal memories of the Feld with Demi Anter.
  • An interactive drawing session surrounding memory and place with Luca Bentley and Geth Griffith-Jones.
  • Use poetry as a sensory extension tool to connect to the oddness of the environment around and within us, with Crista Siglin.
