Honey, check your history. It was intended to be closed and was indeed scheduled to be closed donkeys years ago (About 7 probably). Then the little matter of the Willy Brandt airport meant that for reasons to do with the fact that the state of building, they had to keep it open. After all this time and millions and millions of Euros it still lies idle. I don’t doubt that others here know chapter and verse. All I know is that it should be have been shut years ago.
As for the rest of the complaints by the OP, the only one that I take issue with is the Priority tag. I nearly laughed out loud. The day that Priority luggage is treated as such then I will be overjoyed. Usually it comes out amongst the last which is why I don’t check any and make do with hand luggage.
