Britz Palace

Historical landmark
5 kms
The Britz Castle is also referred to as the ‘pearl of the district’ and got its shape around 1880 from its former owner. The facade was refurbished in a neo-renaissance style and a tower was added at the same time. The park behind the property was reconstructed in the style of the turn of the centuries. Today a museum can be found within the castle. In different rooms one can find a permanent exhibition on the subject of interior design during the German ‘Gründerzeit’. Additionally, there are different special exhibits, as well as concerts and readings of different artists organized frequently on an open-air stage. One can also find an elegant hotel as well as a great restaurant on the compound. The sun terrace invites guests to linger and enjoy a varied menu.

UNESCO world heritage site “Hufeisensiedlung“

Historical landmark
4 kms
The Berlin Modernism Housing Estates are architectural properties from the 20s and 30s. The small streets with the alteration of multi colored facades, the old cherry trees and its informal character contribute to an 'island of tranquility' feel in the middle of Berlin’s big city life. The area is still a popular residential district. Residents enjoy the flair of the 30s, while the young and the old, established and new residents conglomerate to a new diversified neighborhood. Bruno Taut, Martin Wagner and Walter Gropius were among the leading architects of these projects which exercised considerable influence on the development of housing around the world.

Tempelhof Field

Historical landmark
3 kms
Located on the grounds of the former Tempelhof airport, Tempelhof Field is larger than New York's Central Park with over 300 hectares for bike riding, skating, kite flying, urban gardening, strolling or just doing your own thing. It is hard to believe that up until a few years ago, air commuters could fly right from here. Tempelhof played a key role after World War II during the Berlin blockade, when supply planes landed at the site in 90-second intervals. You can read about this and other notable events in the airport's history on various plaques on the field.

On Purpose Adventures

Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.
