Flug LO 165 – eine Flugzeugentführung in die Freiheit
In the organizer's words:
As part of Berlin Freedom Week 2025, the THF TOWER is hosting a film screening followed by a discussion with director Kathrin Schwiering and contemporary witness Constanze Glien, whose moving story is closely linked to Tempelhof Airport.
After August 30, 1978, nothing in Constanze Glien's life was ever the same again. The GDR citizen wanted to fly with her family from Gdansk to Schönefeld - but the plane was hijacked. Instead of landing in the GDR, the plane with 50 GDR citizens on board lands in West Berlin, at Tempelhof Airport. Constanze Glien and her husband are suddenly faced with a decision: should they stay in freedom and leave everything they know behind or return to the GDR?
The documentary (approx. 45 min.) by Kathrin Schwiering shows how Tempelhof became a place that changed Constanze Glien's life - and recalls the airport's eventful history: once a symbol of National Socialist power, later a source of hope during the airlift and finally a base for the US Army during the Cold War. Since its closure in 2008, the huge site has become a place of freedom in the heart of Berlin.
