In May 1947, the Haunstetter municipal council commissioned the mayor to hold a meeting with the Bavarian State Office for Asset Management and Reparation regarding a lease for the pilot school . In June 1947 the lease was completed. Josef Schorer (Mayor 1945–1948) wanted to set up a community hospital there. Therefore, in long negotiations with the trustee, the then administrator of German military property, he acquired the pilot school and the three associated residential buildings on Siebentischstraße (today Marconistraße) and already began to convert the partly bomb-damaged building into a community hospital.
In 1949, the Augsburg district then acquired the partially destroyed buildings of the Aviation Pre-School in Haunstetten for DM 220,000 and thus converted the Aviation Pre-School in 1950 into the TB hospital for adults (130 beds) in the Augsburg district. The Sisters of Mercy of St. Charles Borromeo .
The gym of the former pilot school in Haunstetten, which was owned by the city of Augsburg, was used in the 1950s for classes at the elementary school, because after the Second World War there was a great shortage of classrooms in Haunstetten. Classes from the Froebel School, inaugurated in 1952, were also housed on the first floor. The Haunstetten Municipal Singing School organized numerous singing school concerts there; In addition, the Haunstetter hall served as a ballroom for associations during the carnival period.
The TB hospital was moved to Zusmarshausen in 1969 as the Zusam Clinic of the LVA Schwaben. The buildings were demolished in 1982 except for the gym. After the Haunstetter Frühlingsstraße was renamed Arberstraße as part of the incorporation of Haunstetten to Augsburg, the gym was given the name Arberhalle . It is the last remaining part of the Aviation Pre-School in Haunstetten. TSV Schwaben Augsburg currently operates its gymnastics center in it.
