Apparently there is something in the local laws which limits the number of operational airports in and around Berlin, if they close TOF then they will be allowed to open BBI.
Just about all the buildings are listed anyway so they won't be coming down. Seems an ideal place for an aviation college, a maintenance base, a museum, possibly an FTS if it can safely integrate with BBI traffic, there is a huge ex Russian airfield just outside Berlin along the old corridor so training traffic could do low level departures/arrivals and then spend the day at the old Russian field bothering no one.
I think it simply has to close as a licenced commercial airport for scheduled passenger traffic.
