The Schumacher Quartier represents the second project of the Tegel Projekt GmbH to change the usage of the Tegel Airport premises after its closedown. Core piece of this project is to develop a new residential quarter adjacent to the research- and industrial park with about 5000 residential units for about 10,000 residents. Apart from these new residential units also social projects such as schools, shopping centres, sports facilities, etc. are to be built. Tegel Projekt GmbH wants to turn the quarter into a model of a city of the future: The Schumacher Quarter is to become a mobility hub where innovative traffic concepts are being realised as well as innovative technologies developed. At the same time the quarter is to become climate-neutral and will have a positive influence on the environment in the section of sustainable development.
