The Most Unique Airports in the World

7. Berlin Tempelhof Airport
Although it’s closed to air traffic now, Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport was infamous for many years as a prime example of Nazi architecture.
The site was first used as an airfield in 1909, and an airport building was built there in 1923. The Nazi party began construction to expand the airport in the 1930s. Their vision was of a massive airport shaped like an eagle with outspread wings. Construction was halted, but traffic through the half-finished airport continued until 1945, when it was handed over to the Americans as part of the 1945 Potsdam Agreement. After 1945, it remained a military base, then a civilian airport, and was finally closed in 2008
