Alte Frachtkantine is one of a series of buildings at the former Tegel (TXL) airport, a beautiful example of the architectural style of the 1960s. The distinct, orange, brutalist building and its surrounding features are under monument protection. Until November 2020 it was still serving as a freight catering canteen. Now we are transforming it into a new cultural hub!
The LIFTOFF event on the 30. September 2023 is free. The majority of our events are accessible and free of charge. For paid events, guests with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses may bring an escort free of charge. Since we also recognize medically and officially unregistered disabilities, we do not require the presentation of a disabled person's ID card. It is not a prerequisite. If you are unsure, contact accessibility@turbulence.berlin
The nearest accessible stop is the Jungfernheide S-Bahn station. You can reach it with the U7, S41 and S42 lines, as well as various regional trains and bus lines. The elevators are regularly checked for functionality by our team before events.
For the LIFTOFF event o the 30th of September 2023, we offer a shuttle service leaving from S+U Jungfernheide, with the capacity to transport wheelchair users. It will run from 2pm until 11pm, every 25 minutes.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to install a tactile guidance system. Visitors who are blind or visually impaired can contact us and be guided through the grounds. If you come without an escort we will be happy to pick you up at the nearest bus stop. Please notify us at least 24 hours in advance: accessibility@turbulence.berlin
Trained assistance dogs are of course welcome. Exercise facilities and green areas are available outside the event area
The site is the parking lot of a former airport canteen. The majority of the ground surfaces are level. Uneven areas are marked so that especially wheelchair users and visually impaired persons can recognize them quickly. Access is via a ramp with a slope of less than 6%.
A raised platform is installed in front of the stage to provide better visibility for wheelchair users, among others. Upon request, we will be happy to provide seating for accompanying persons on the platform.
