Commitment
to the region

We are aware of our importance for the region as an airport and a company. We, therefore, attach particular importance to acting as a responsible member of the community and continuing to shape our region in close co-operation. As a reliable partner, we rely on an open and transparent dialogue with local residents and regional politicians. In addition to the cross-community exchange in the “Airport Berlin Brandenburg Dialogue Forum,” information and exchange formats such as “Neighbours in Dialogue” have established themselves as permanent fixtures of the citizens’ dialogue.

To make a positive contribution to the development and quality of life in the airport region, we have been actively involved in a large number of non-profit organisations and projects in the area surrounding BER for many years. Our wide range of support programmes and social projects provide targeted support to clubs, schools, daycare centres and other institutions in the airport region. The entire airport region benefits from the social commitment and resulting sustainable partnerships.

We take pride in how many exciting projects we are able to realise with the associations and institutions in the vicinity of BER for the people in the airport environs. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the cooperation characterised by trust.

Map of the airport region

In our work, we concentrate primarily on the direct surroundings of BER Airport, i.e. the surrounding communities in Brandenburg and the neighbouring districts of Berlin. We focus on the area defined in the Joint Structural Concept (GSK) for the airport region.

Voices from the region

The Eichwalde Children's Choir sings in the check-in hall of BER's Terminal 1.

“Thanks to the sponsorship, we were able to buy a recording device and keep the costs of the choir camp down, so that absolutely all the children could come along. The grand finale was the concert in Terminal 1 at BER. A highlight for us and a special expression of our long-standing collaboration.”

Martina Büttner, choir director of the children’s and youth choir VOCALINOS of Chorgemeinschaft Eichwalde e. V.

Two printed sports shirts and a volleyball

“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 were also able to organise successful events in 2023, 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, Mayor of the municipality of Schulzendorf and 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
