This is a former factory building, which has been unused for decades.
It was in between the wars used for [the] weapon industry and is now, since five years about, a huge creative hub.
The Berlin art scene today is, as it has been over the last let's say decade, drawing in a lot of people from all over the world
because until now it's still a relatively cheap place to work and live.
Berlin is for sure the cultural capital of Germany. Berlin is also very different to [from] the rest of Germany.
So it remains open to kind of everyone, and you can do and look however you want to.
Nobody really cares.
It's actually an ugly city, and that's the great part about it.
It's not Paris, it's not London.
No, it's relatively ugly, but it's the people who make it,
and it's the energy, their creative drive, that makes the city really happening.
We're standing in front of the Boros Bunker.
This is an old Second World War bunker,
and it's been transformed by Christian Boros a couple of years ago into an exhibition venue -- a venue for his own private art collection.
This is the last remaining bit of the Berlin Wall,
and it is called the East Side Gallery, separating the East and the West.
And even if it's snowing outside, you know, it adds a lot of color to the city.
I lived abroad for many years.
I lived in Stockholm for six years. I lived in London and Paris,
and after I decided to quit my job and start my own company,
I really wanted to live in Berlin because Berlin is such a[n] exciting place right now, and it's still very affordable.
What exactly attracted you?
I think it's this kind of unfinished draw[ing] feeling that I have about Berlin still.
It's still not as developed as other cities,
which I think is exciting and which I like to be part of, of this kind of development.
Fashion-wise, maybe still not the...
comparable to London or Paris or New York, but it's getting there; it's developing a lot.
Since the wall was broken down,
Berlin has from a poor point on the map grown up to one of the gourmet high spots in Europe.
There're several dishes which if you see them, you have to eat.
One is called Konigsberger Klopse.
It's a kind of minced meat served in a very creamy white sauce with capers.
The other must-have, of course, it's currywurst, or curry sausage with french fries,
but if you have too much of them you get a shape like me.
There are a lot of wounds, but a lot of possibilities in this city.
That's why Berlin is great for architects, for creative people
because you can fill in gaps while not being in a vacuum, you know?
Everything inspires you.
There's no capital of an industrial nation right now that is cheap, that has all these empty zones we can move in, that is very open.
So, creative people are coming, and they will keep coming.
The airport was built in the '40s.
It was the biggest building in the world.
It was 'til they built the Pentagon in the United States.
It's a gigantic development, and now it's not an airport anymore.
What do you do with [a] big building like that in the center of the city?
Right now behind us, you know, there's a fashion fair going on.
That's just using part of the building.
During the Berlin blockade when [the] Soviets kind of blocked the island of West Berlin,
the Americans used this airport to fly in goods from outside to help the city survive
and that's what Berliners still keep in mind and remember when they think of Tempelhof.
That's why it is very... the connotation is very positive.
