For the Summer Festival at Tempelhof Airport on September 1, the young people of the Fliegerwerkstatt are building 12 exhibition pavilions. The materials used come rom the emergency shelter for refugees of the Berlin City Mission in Mertensstraße in Berlin Spandau. At times 1000 refugees were accommodated in 370 cabins. After the closure of the accommodation, the Fliegerwerkstatt saved 24 cabins from disposal and used them to build exhibition pavilions for the Open Day in Tempelhof.

The Fliegerwerkstatt will be closed from 10-15 June: the crew with 16 crew members is on the way in the IJsselmeer! Ahoy!
For four years, Rolls-Royce Germany has been supporting us in many ways. In addition to the personal commitment of many employees, we were once again pleased to receive financial support and a cheque of 10,000 Euros at the ILA Berlin. As part of the “We save – we grow – we give” programme, all Rolls-Royce employees worldwide have made this donation possible through savings – and thereby passing on part of their success to our young people!
SINCERE THANKS
also in the name of all young people and the Fliegerwerkstatt team!
Once again a complete success: 14 girls were enthusiastic about craftsmanship and technology.
As part of the 9th Berlin Foundation Week, the Deutsche Telekom Foundation was our guest in the Fliegerwerkstatt. Under the keyword ‘Maker Day – Tinkering and designing with digital media’, creative projects that were supported by the Telekom Foundation presented themselves. The young people of Roobots e.V. were also present. They develop and program their own robots every Saturday in the Fliegerwerkstatt.
The Young Pilots are young people in pilot training who are trained by Thomas Kärger, an experienced long-distance pilot. We are pleased that in the future they will be teaching our teens how to fly in our 737 Full Flight Simulator!
At an initial meeting, the young people exchanged their expectations in addition to their enthusiasm for flying and planned the course of the simulator training.
Julian builds the first own drone. Once all test runs have been completed, the pilot project could give rise to a new project idea.
Roman has researched on the Internet, printed blueprints and collected materials. He wants to build a turbine and introduces his plan to Vincent.
The product range is constantly expanding. From May, the Fliegerwerkstatt will be represented at the flea market “Straße des 17. Juni” in Berlin!
For the Fokker Triplane Aircraft an original propeller is rebuilt. Since there are no more original drawings, a template must be created, after which the seven layers of wood glued together can be made exactly.
