Commitment
to the region

Working together for our region 

Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) makes an important contribution to the economic development of the surrounding region. At the same time, airport operations generate emissions and present other challenges for the surrounding area. This tension gives rise to legitimate needs and expectations on the part of the people in the surrounding communities regarding the airport.

As an airport and as a company, we are aware of this special significance for the region. That is why we are committed to the future-oriented development of the airport region in close cooperation with our neighbors. The airport company’s Regional Affairs department serves as a recognized, established connection between the airport and the surrounding communities.

At the heart of our community engagement are open dialogue with the neighborhood and constructive cooperation with regional politicians and municipalities. At the same time, we provide targeted support to schools, daycare centers, clubs and social projects in the airport’s vicinity – for example, through donations and sponsorships. We aim for as many people as possible in the airport region to benefit from this wide-ranging community engagement.

Map of the airport region

In our work, we focus primarily on the airport region, that is, the area surrounding BER Airport. This refers in particular to the surrounding municipalities in Brandenburg and neighborhoods in southern Berlin. Our focus here is on the area defined in the Joint Structural Concept (GSK) for the Berlin-Brandenburg Airport Region.

The area extends roughly from Ludwigsfelde in the west to Gosen-Neu Zittau in the east, and from Berlin-Schöneweide in the north to Mittenwalde in the south. It encompasses several cities and municipalities in the Brandenburg districts of Dahme-Spreewald, Teltow-Fläming, and Oder-Spree, as well as several neighborhoods in the Berlin districts of Treptow-Köpenick, Neukölln, and Tempelhof-Schöneberg.

Voices from the region

The BER logo on a volleyball court

“BER has sponsored sports activities and club work in the district of Dahme-Spreewald for many years. Thanks to the excellent partnership and cooperation, we are able to organize successful events, such as the now nationally renowned Dahme Cup in volleyball.”

Norman Grätz, Managing Director of Kreissportbund Dahme-Spreewald e. V.

Four adults are smiling as they pose in a school corridor. Two of them are sitting on a sofa with high sides in the middle of the corridor.

“On behalf of the school support association, I would like to thank BER for its support in purchasing the acoustic sofas for our primary school. The new seating serves as a place of retreat, increases the quality of learning and, therefore, supports the pupils in our growing community in their development.”

Markus Mücke, Chairman of the Schulzendorf Primary School Support Association

Children are jumping on a bouncy castle with the BER logo, which has been set up on a meadow under a blue sky.

“BER also plays a part in the sporting success of SG Neukölln in swimming and water polo. Whether as a sponsoring partner, with non-cash prizes or the popular BER bouncy castle - the airport has always supported our work with young talent and our events in various ways.”

Jochen Hanz, Managing Director of Schwimm-Gemeinschaft Neukölln e. V. Berlin

A word of thanks from Tannenzapfen Nursery

“Thanks to your support, we were able to complete our sauna construction project at the Tannenzapfen Daycare Center last year. We, as the support association, would therefore like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts – also on behalf of the children, teachers, and parents. Without your support, we would never have been able to bring this idea to life so quickly. Thank you so much for believing in our project!“

Cynthia Nieswand, Tannenzapfen Daycare Center Support Association
