Tachless was once a large Jewish department store, abandoned for obvious reasons, that fell into East Berlin and was left to crumble by the Soviets. These days it's an artists squat that the Government is trying to tear down.

| A house built right on the Berlin wall (West side) out of the rubbish that had been dumper in the area. Attached to the house is a vegetable garden the man who built it still lives in the apartments across the road and can apparently be seen in the garden in the summer |

Berlin Tempelhof is an abandoned airport right near the city centre. During the division of Berlin it was used to airlift supplies into West Berlin and was of course also used heavily in WWII. Three years ago it was shut down and the runway area has become a local park.
