From 5 May the Fliegerwerkstatt will be open again. Everything is prepared to resume work on the projects in small groups under the necessary hygiene and protection measures.

We are looking forward to seeing the young people again!

We used the time of the contact ban in the home office to compile an annual report about the many different projects of the Fliegerwerkstatt.

Enjoy reading it!

In the CareerCenter the sectors of construction and building services engineering present themselves with many opportunities to participate.

The aviation workshop has built the lounge area for the CareerCenter and the exhibition stand for the social insurance fund of the construction industry. In the exhibition pavilion the Fliegerwerkstatt itself presents its projects.
The young people of the temporary learning group built the benches, counters, tables, 25 stools and the exhibition pavilion and set them up at the fair!

Four years after the last video, we shot a new film about the Fliegerwerkstatt! Pierre Pasler accompanied us for one day and recorded many beautiful moments. Watch video on Youtube

In addition to the video, a media clip was created with the support of Stefan Wriege, Communications Manager of Rolls-Royce. We would like to find further partners like Rolls-Royce, who also want to pass on a part of their success to young people! Because this social return is an investment into a common peaceful and successful future.  Watch media clip von Youtube

We are very happy that Anne Nielsen has become part of the Fliegerwerkstatt Team since November 1st! She brings with her a wealth of experience in Waldorf education, mediation and child and youth work.

In the new school year, the Fliegerwerkstatt cooperates with the educational institution Arbeit und Bildung e.V. and takes over the practical part of the programme ” Practical Experience for Refugee Youths”. This programme is supported by the Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family. Workshop weeks take place during an orientation phase. In temporary learning groups the contents are deepened and supplemented with language teaching, so that the participants can be placed within the school year into the work and training market.

We congratulate Hadi Heidari, who successfully completed his three-year training as a process mechanic for surface technology at Krauss GmbH!

For the second time, the Fliegerwerkstatt goes on a sailing tour. 14 teenager and four instructors started the tour from the Ijsselmeer to the North Sea on Friday.

Arrival by train to Holland:

The first impressions of the tour:

Together with nine employees of the Daimler sales division in Berlin, we have built two large mobile benches and a raised bed for our inner courtyard. Soon we will be able to harvest our vegetables from our own raised bed for cooking.

Many thanks to Mrs. Schwarz and her team!

For the Airlift Festival on May 12, 2019, the Fliegerwerkstatt was commissioned to build the interior of Hangar 5. ‘Hangar 5 – Understand Airlift’ dealt with the concrete afterlife of the Airlift and the Berlin reality of life during this time. Seven four-metre long transport crates, which served as counters for the exhibitors, as well as a living room furnished with typical decor of the time, were reconstructed by the young people. The production took place in the aircraft workshop.

The assembly was completed on site. With our new transport trolley the long side walls could be moved from yard 1 into hangar 5.

For the living room an original window was lent and wallpaper in the style of the 40’s was selected.

On the feast day itself our young people volunteered on the Tempelhofer Feld. Through these joint activities everyone gets to know each other better and better, regardless of which group and with what motivation they come to the airplane workshop in everyday life.

The common outfit is for all an important part of the feeling of togetherness.
