Yep, by rule of thumb, you should set off at least 1 hour before the gate closes, maybe an 1h30m just to be safe. For all the times I've departed from Tegel, it's always taken about 5-10 minutes to walk from the bus stop outside to *any* departure gate. The airport really is that small. http://www.berlin-airport.de/de/_dokumente/reisende/2015-09-28-txl-terminal-de-en.pdf To give you a small idea, the length of Terminal C (left to right) is about 100 metres. :-)
