I'd love to see the basements of those buildings at Templehof. Apparently they go underground for quite some depth - at least as deep as the buildings are high.

It's a shame that Schönefeld is so far out of Berlin in comparison to Tegel, but with expansion there must also be the space to be able to grow and Tegel would not be suitable. Let's hope that they also upgrade the train line out to Schönefeld at the same time. We've used the airport 3 times over 12 months, and each time we've returned to Berlin, we've had to unexpectedly change trains due to track and station maintenance.

As you say, things happen slowly. The debate for an international airport in Berlin has been simmering for years and will probably continue for a while yet.

However, according to the Wikipedia entry, it is set for 2011.
