BERLIN'S
NEW
LANDING SITE
FOR THE
GOOD LIFE
A site steeped in German aviation history is set to reach new heights: the Segelflieger Quartier is being developed on the former airfield adjacent to Johannisthal Landscape Park and will be completed by 2030. This green, sustainable urban quarter, located next to Adlershof innovation campus, will offer 1,800 new apartments alongside gastronomy, retail, commercial spaces, educational facilities and cultural venues. Welcome to Berlin’s new urban quarter for everyone!
LIVING
WHERE BERLIN’S
FUTURE
IS GROWING
The Segelflieger Quarter is located precisely where Berlin is expanding: in the ambitious south-east. This development corridor stretches from Berlin-Mitte through the Adlershof Technology Park to BER Airport. With thousands of newly planned apartments, office and research spaces, a close-knit transport network and the planned extension of the U7 underground line, this boom corridor is set to become a launchpad for the capital of tomorrow.
A
QUARTER,
THAT
INSPIRES
1,800 new flats for rent and for sale, a quarter of which are subsidised: with its integrated urban development concept, the Segelflieger Quarter is one of the capital’s largest and most attractive residential construction projects.
Berlin urgently needs housing, but not just any housing. There is a demand for architecturally sophisticated neighbourhoods that offer a high quality of life. The Segelflieger Quartier therefore focuses on a sustainable mix. This includes apartments of various sizes for sale and rent, as well as shops, restaurants, a nursery, neighbourhood meeting spaces and green courtyards.

Short distances, plenty of green space. And room for community.
Modern, low-barrier living – in all sizes

A listed quarter at its heart with shops, restaurants, a medical centre and a community centre
FROM
GREY TO
GREEN
With open paths, plenty of green space and intelligent water management, the Segelflieger Quartier offers a high-quality urban lifestyle that is also sustainable.
SUSTAINABILITY IN NUMBERS
- > 50% EXTENSIVELY GREENED ROOF SURFACES
- 500 NEW TREES TO BE PLANTED
- 70% OF DEMOLITION MATERIAL WILL BE RECYCLED
- > 30% OF ROOFS WILL BE FITTED WITH PHOTOVOLTAICS
- 100% SPONGE CITY THROUGH NATURAL WATER CYCLE
Not a single square metre of new concrete will be laid for the construction of the quarter. Instead, old concrete surfaces will be dismantled and de-sealed to create green spaces that connect to the neighbouring landscape park. Hundreds of new trees will be planted, and inner courtyards will be transformed into green oases, offering visitors a high-quality experience.
The Segelflieger Quarter has been designed according to the Sponge City principle. This means that water can seep away and evaporate, ensuring a pleasant microclimate. This is complemented by strict energy efficiency and building material standards, with a focus on healthy, climate-resilient urban development.
This sustainable quarter has been awarded the preliminary DGNB Gold certificate.

THE FUTURE
The Segelflieger Quartier is being built on historic ground. It was here that the first motorised aeroplanes took off and performed daring manoeuvres.
IN 1909, GERMANY’S FIRST COMMERCIALLY OPERATED AIRFIELD WAS OPENED IN JOHANNISTHAL.
Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the air shows, where pioneering aviators such as Hans Grade, Melli Beese and Orville Wright took to the skies in the first aircraft. Aircraft manufacturers Albatros and Rumpler had production facilities here, as did the German Research Institute for Aviation, which experimented with aircraft technology.
However, when Tempelhof Airport opened, Johannisthal lost its prominence and film studios and industrial companies moved into the former aircraft hangars. During the GDR era, refrigerators and lorry engines were manufactured here, among other things. The site has lain fallow since German reunification, but it is now being given a new, permanent ‘raison d’être’ as an urban quarter.
PRIME
LOCATION –
FOR GREAT
IDEAS AND
BETTER LIVING
No other German city is as exciting or diverse as Berlin. And nowhere feels more like home.
THE
Berlin
WE LOVE
Berlin moves to the rhythm of contrasts – sometimes wild, sometimes quiet, but always full of energy. It is a place where the Philharmonic meets Berghain, Nefertiti meets the flea market and the Kurfürstendamm meets a canoe tour. Sometimes it’s the big city that glitters, and sometimes it’s the glistening water. Those who live here experience the allure of these contrasts every day.
And what about the Segelflieger Quarter? It lies right in the heart of the Berlin cosmos, close enough to reach everything quickly yet far enough away to escape the constant hustle and bustle.
CLEVER
NEIGHBOURS
Adlershof is internationally acclaimed as the ‘German Silicon Valley’ – and it’s located right next to the Segelflieger Quartier. This renowned science and technology park is home to around 1,300 companies and 18 research institutes. These companies and institutes develop solutions for tomorrow’s challenges and conduct cutting-edge research in fields such as quantum computing, photonics, renewable energies, microsystems technology and aerospace. This spirit also inspires the Segelflieger Quarter, opening up new horizons for living, life and forward thinking.
A HOME
BASE FOR
GLIDERS
The Segelflieger Quarter offers the perfect balance of city and nature. Just outside the door, you will find Johannisthal Park, the Adlershof Campus and the leisure oases of the south-east. And Berlin-Mitte is not far away either.
As they used to say: Flying? Impossible! And yet, it was right here that the first aeroplanes took off. Similarly, Johannisthal is underestimated today: some still don’t believe that you can find the typical Berlin neighbourhood spirit here. However, the combination of creativity, a vibrant atmosphere and a high-tech campus proves that Johannisthal is far from being in the sticks.
PLENTY
OF ROOM
TO MOVE
What a front garden! The 68-hectare Johannisthal Landscape Park is located right outside the quarter’s gates. The inner area is a nature reserve, providing a habitat for rare species of animal. There is a cycling and walking route around it. The park also offers plenty of sporting and leisure activities: its ‘activity chambers’ invite you to go skating, play table tennis or beach volleyball.

With short distances, excellent connections and a surprisingly diverse range of leisure options, the good life is always close at hand in the Segelflieger Quartier.

TAKE-OFF
A
JOINT
EFFORT
To achieve great things, you need strong partners working shoulder-to-shoulder. As part of the ‘Berlin-Johannisthal/Adlershof’ urban development scheme, the Segelflieger Quarter is being developed jointly by BAUWERT AG, the State of Berlin and its development agency, WISTA Plan GmbH, as well as degewo AG.
BAUWERT AG
As one of the main partners, BAUWERT AG is responsible for developing and realising a large part of the new urban quarter. BAUWERT is one of Germany’s leading project developers, with a special focus on high-quality, sustainable quarter development in and around Berlin. It has successfully completed over 330 projects, comprising around 12,000 flats, with an investment volume of more than 5 billion euro.
TOP-NOTCH ARCHITECTS
Each building is impressive in its own right, and together they create a harmonious overall picture. This has been made possible through collaboration with numerous award-winning architecture firms. In the area developed by BAUWERT, firms such as gmp, Hilmer Sattler, Stefan Forster, Pätzold, Bonanni and Nöfer have shaped the architectural image. The open spaces were designed by BOS Landscape Architects.
THE STATE OF BERLIN
The Senate Department for Urban Development, Building and Housing, together with its urban development agency, WISTA.Plan GmbH, is responsible for developing the site, cleaning up contaminated land and establishing the legal framework for construction. Areas for public infrastructure are also being provided, as well as state-owned commercial spaces which are being marketed. Degewo AG, Berlin’s leading municipal housing company, is building around 450 publicly subsidised rental flats in the quarter.
