history
The airfield was opened as a civil landing field in 1911. It had no significant military importance either in the First or Second World War. In 1941 the area was made unusable for operations and closed. In the spring of 1945 the Offenburg airfield was released for unrestricted agricultural use. In the 1950s, gliding was resumed and the area has been continuously developed since then. In 1969 Offenburg was the venue for the German helicopter championships. In addition, Offenburg was often a stage destination of the Germany flight . In 1975 the square was expanded and got a slope with an asphalt surface (orientation 02/20, L = 920 m, W = 20 m). 1996 was airfield by a city council decision in favor of the aeronautical use of the airfield Lahr (EDTL) to a Sonderlandeplatz downgraded. Since then, apart from aircraft belonging to the Fliegergruppe Offenburg eV, the space may only be used after prior notification (PPR). The other aircraft based in Offenburg had to move to Lahr as a result. Commercial air traffic is limited to Burda flights within the scope of the special permits. With the construction of a correctional facility in the eastern area of the airport, air traffic was subjected to further restrictions from 2009. In addition, there are plans to cross the runway in the southern area with an Offenburg-Süd motorway slip road in the long term , so that the available take-off taxiway ( TORA ) would be shortened and flight use would be further restricted. A citizens' initiative to save the airfield is trying to restore the airfield to the public status of a commercial airfield.
