What's Happening in West Berlin?
After the war, Temple Hope Airport became an important hub for West Berliners to get in and out of the city. But by the early 2000s, it was very obsolete as an actual airport. The runways were way too short for modern passenger jets. It was turned into one of the biggest, most interesting urban parks in the world. Farmers actually cut the grass for hay; they also do bring in sheep and grazing animals. This is largely being done for biodiversity reasons, for ecology reasons.
