Die Neugestaltung, Berlin: The City That Reinvents Itself
Daniel Oviedo - Wongin The View
Documentary
2025
Die Neugestaltung is a documentary that explores the transformation of Tempelhof Airport, a place where Berlin’s darkest past coexists with its most human future. Through archival footage, interviews, and personal testimonies, the film moves from Tempelhof’s construction in the 1930s and its role during the Third Reich to the Berlin Airlift, when the airport became a symbol of hope for a divided city.
Today, Tempelhof is a space reclaimed by the community, an open landscape for gathering, art, rest, and collective imagination. The film observes how Berlin continuously rebuilds itself on the ruins of its own history, revealing how a site once designed as a symbol of power can evolve into a place of belonging, memory, and renewal.
A portrait of Berlin told through its infrastructure, its people, and its enduring ability to turn the past into possibility.
Written, directed, filmed, and edited by Daniel Oviedo.
