A journey to Berlin by airplane will possibly bring you to Tegel in the district of Reinickendorf: Berlin's biggest airport, used as a military airfield by the French occupators until 1960, connects the city to West Europe and overseas. But Tegel is not only an airport: West of the old, pretty village centre, a favoured jaunting target since the 19th century, the Lake Tegel with its neighbouring forest invites for rambling and bathing or for strolling along the Greenwichpromenade. Near Berlin's second largest lake architect Schinkel designed the elegant castle Tegel ("Humboldt-Schlösschen") for statesman Wilhelm von Humboldt, whose inheritors still reside here.
The vast, traditional industry site of the Borsig works engrosses a part of the lake's shore. Also the other quarters of Reinickendorf, West Berlin's largest district, are characterized by contrasts between villages, scenic landscapes, industry, old workmen's sites and tower block colonies like the Märkisches Viertel, adjoining the attractive village of Lübars with its village green and its church.
