Mittenwalde (German: [ˈmɪtn̩ˌvaldə] (listen)) is a town in the Dahme-Spreewald district, in Brandenburg, Germany. It is situated 30 km southeast of Berlin (centre). On May 28, 1562, the town of Mittenwalde lent Berlin 400 guilders, a debt which has never been repaid, though the town has attempted to collect the debt on rare occasions. As of 2020, this debt would be equivalent to about 113.92 million euros ($127.05 million) with simple interest, but with compound interest, the debt would be 43.58 quintillion euros, far larger than the global economy.

Königs Wusterhausen Central Tower was a 243 m (797 ft), freestanding steel framework tower on the Funkerberg of Königs Wusterhausen, Germany. The tower, with its unique triangular cross section, was built from 1924 to 1925. The tower collapsed during the storm Quimburga on 13 November 1972.

BER Airport – Terminal 1-2 station (German: Bahnhof Flughafen BER – Terminal 1-2) is a railway station located under the main terminal of Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Germany serving its Terminals 1 and 2 while the older BER Airport – Terminal 5 station serves its Terminal 5. The train services are operated by Deutsche Bahn, which provides long-distance and regional connections while S-Bahn Berlin offers suburban lines.

Bundesautobahn 117 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 117, short form Autobahn 117, abbreviated as BAB 117 or A 117) is an autobahn in Germany. The road that would become the A 117 was built in the 1960s as the A 113, intended as a connection from the A 10-A 13 junction in Schönefeld to the Berlin neighborhood of Adlershof. This road's path was similar to all of the A 117's present-day route, then the A 113's route south to the beginning of the A 13. Soon after reunification, a junction was built along the A 113 at Waltersdorf (present-day A 117 junction 2). In 1997, construction began in Neukölln on a new section of autobahn, which was to begin at the A 100 and connect the inner city to Adlershof and the already-existing section of the A 113. The new section was completed in 2008 and received the A 113 designation. The stub that was left, from Waltersdorf into Treptow, was renumbered A 117. During construction of the A 113 extension, a new three-way interchange had to be built at the point where the extension meets the existing roadway. The existing autobahn also had to be slightly rerouted, as the town's cemetery was isolated from the rest of its area by the road. The only way to resolve this problem and retain both the new junction and the existing junction was to combine the two junctions, although to this day they are still numbered separately. When the A 113-A 117 project was completed, the portion of the B 179 that ran into Berlin was downgraded to L 400, a fact that still has not been noted by most maps.

Berlin Schönefeld Airport (Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld ) (formerly IATA: SXF, ICAO: EDDB, ETBS) was the secondary international airport of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It was located 18 km (11 mi) southeast of Berlin near the town of Schönefeld in the state of Brandenburg and bordered Berlin's southern boundary. It was the smaller of the two airports in Berlin, after Berlin Tegel Airport, and served as a base for easyJet and Ryanair. In 2017, the airport handled 12.9 million passengers by serving mainly European metropolitan and leisure destinations. In the same year, the travel portal eDreams ranked Berlin Schönefeld as the worst airport in the world after evaluating 65,000 airport reviews. Schönefeld Airport also was the major civil airport of East Germany (GDR) and the only airport of the former East Berlin. On 25 October 2020 the Schönefeld name and IATA code ceased to exist, marking its closure as an independent airport, with large parts of its infrastructure being incorporated into the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport (IATA: BER, ICAO: EDDB) as its Terminal 5 with its sections renamed to K, L, M and Q.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt (German: Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg "Willy Brandt", (IATA: BER, ICAO: EDDB), German pronunciation: [beːʔeːˈʔɛɐ̯] (listen)) is an international airport in Schönefeld, just south of the German capital Berlin in the state of Brandenburg. Named after the former West Berlin mayor and West German chancellor Willy Brandt, it is located 18 kilometres (11 mi) south-east of the city centre and serves as a base for easyJet, Eurowings and Ryanair. It mostly has flights to European metropolitan and leisure destinations as well as a number of intercontinental services. The new airport replaced Tempelhof, Schönefeld, and Tegel airports, and became the single commercial airport serving Berlin and the surrounding State of Brandenburg, an area with a combined 6 million inhabitants. With projected annual passenger numbers of around 34 million, Berlin Brandenburg Airport has become the third busiest airport in Germany surpassing Düsseldorf Airport and making it one of the fifteen busiest in Europe. At the time of opening, the airport has a theoretical capacity of 46 million passengers per year. Terminal 1 accounts for 28 million of this, Terminal 2, which did not open until March 24, 2022 due to the pandemic, accounts for six million, and Terminal 5, the terminal buildings of the former Berlin-Schönefeld Airport, accounts for another twelve million. Expansion buildings are planned until 2035 to be able to handle 58 million passengers annually.The airport was originally planned to open in October 2011, five years after starting construction in 2006. However, the project encountered a series of successive delays due to poor construction planning, execution, management, and corruption. Berlin Brandenburg Airport finally received its operational licence in May 2020, and opened for commercial traffic on 31 October 2020, 14 years after construction started and 29 years after official planning was begun. Schönefeld's refurbished passenger facilities were incorporated as Terminal 5 on 25 October 2020 while all other airlines completed the transition from Tegel to Berlin Brandenburg Airport by 8 November 2020.
