Description
Once an airfield, now Berlin’s most contested lifeline. Tempelhof’s vast open expanse has been carved into wind-beaten farmland, greenhouse corridors, and scavenged turbine fields. Whoever controls Tempelhof influences winter survival across the city. Harvest disputes here can decide which districts eat — and which freeze.
Appearance
A broad, exposed plain of rectangular crop plots stitched across cracked runway concrete. Wind turbines turn slowly against gray skies. Makeshift watchtowers rise along the perimeter, and supply caravans move cautiously between reinforced farm clusters. The land looks vulnerable — because it is.
Description
Symbolic heart of old Berlin and still politically volatile. Control of Mitte is rarely permanent; its ruins are fought over for legitimacy as much as resources. Negotiations often begin here — and just as often end in sniper fire.
Appearance
Dense collapsed blocks cluster around river bends and shattered landmarks. Rooftop gardens cling to skeletal buildings. Smoke columns and signal fires dot the skyline, and long boulevards create dangerous sightlines across broken districts.
Description
Workshop territory. Solar arrays, salvage yards, and militia-held block compounds define this region. It is self-reliant, fiercely territorial, and quick to close its borders when fuel shortages begin.
Appearance
Industrial shells converted into layered settlements. Rooftop panels glint faintly through moss growth. Narrow streets are barricaded with scrap steel and rail debris, marked by faded murals beneath creeping ivy.
Description
Where the Spree never retreated. Water purification enclaves and barge communities hold quiet power here. Clean water is currency, and access is tightly controlled.
Appearance
Partially submerged streets threaded by elevated walkways. Rusted boats drift between drowned storefronts. Filtration towers rise from reinforced platforms above dark water.
Description
Militarized rail corridors and fortified checkpoints dominate this district. Ammunition, toll enforcement, and winter fuel storage concentrate here. Passage through Charlottenburg is never free.
Appearance
Reinforced rail embankments form defensive arcs. Watchlights sweep across rusted tracks at dusk. Stockpiles sit under armored tarps beside heavy barricades.
Description
Forest-reclaimed outskirts where hunters and foragers hold authority. Trade with Spandau determines meat supply during harsh winters.
Appearance
Dense birch and pine growth swallowing entire neighborhoods. Isolated watch cabins rise from rooftops overtaken by trees. Wildlife paths cut through former streets.
