Lauder to turn Tempelhof Airport into clinic
Cosmetics billionaire Ronald Lauder is reportedly trying to save Germany’s Tempelhof Airport and turn it into a 350m euro (£235m, US$453m) fly-in aesthetic beauty clinic.
According to UK-based newspaper The Independent, Lauder – the second son of cosmetics founder Estée Lauder – is leading a last-ditch attempt to prevent the closure of the Nazi-built Tempelhof airport in Berlin.
Lauder is heading a team of US investors and has published appeals in two of Germany’s largest mass-market newspapers. Tempelhof has vaulted ceilings and a 3,000ft (900m) long curved, stone terminal building.
It was once a status symbol of the Third Reich but Berlin’s city government is planning to close it and relocate all flights to a new airport in the south-east of the city by 2011.
