Which airport is closest to central Berlin?

Of the three major Berlin metropolitan area airports, Tempelhof Airport is the closest to Berlin by way of distance, with Tegel Airport following closely behind.  However, one should be aware that flights from Tempelhof are usually limited to short-haul routes, whereas Tegel services long-haul international flights.  Both airports are scheduled to be shut down by 2012 with services shifted to an expanded Schoenefeld Airport, located 15 miles southeast of Berlin.
