The Neubrandenburg Airport (also: Airport Neubrandenburg-Trollenhagen ) is a German airfield and is located in Trollenhagen , six kilometers north-east of Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . It was built in 1934 as a military airport and last operated by the Bundeswehr as Trollenhagen air base until 2013 . Since 1993 it was also used civilly by an airport company, after the end of military use, the airport company took over full operation.
Since March 6, 2014, Neubrandenburg has been a purely civil airfield, which was initially only approved for visual flights (VFR), as the instrument flight procedures (IFR) of the German armed forces were suspended on the same day and removed from the aviation manual (AIP). On April 2, 2014, IFR flight operations were resumed on the basis of an airspace G with a RMZ ( Radio Mandatory Zone ). An RNAV approach procedure based on the European EGNOS system has been set up for each approach direction .

history
1933-1945
In January 1934 the construction of the military airfield began. In 1934 the airfield was completed and inaugurated. It was gradually expanded until 1942. The 152th Combat Squadron had been stationed here since 1936 . From 1939 until the end of the war, the pilot school (C) 5 used the space. During the Second World War , a branch of Focke-Wulf GmbH was built in the eastern part and the runway was concreted. In 1944, the airfield was attacked twice by Allied bombers, causing significant damage. On April 29, 1945, the area was occupied by the Red Army and briefly used by various units of the Soviet air force in the following months . After the war ended, the airfield served as an internment camp. The factory facilities were blown up and the existing machines were dismantled and taken to the USSR.
The following table shows a list of selected active flying units (excluding school and supplementary units) of the Wehrmacht Air Force that were stationed here between 1938 and 1945.

Until 1990
From 1949 the Soviet armed forces began again with the construction and expansion including the remnants of the still existing infrastructure. The east-west runway was extended in a westerly direction and the north-south runway was dismantled. In the same year it was used for almost three years by the Soviet 899th Fighter Regiment. In 1953/1954 further hunting and transport units were relocated to Neubrandenburg.
In 1956, after the NVA was founded, the airfield was handed over to the GDR's air forces . From 1961 to 1990 the 3rd Air Defense Division (3rd LVD) , the Fighter Fliegergeschwader 2 "Juri Gagarin" (JG-2) last with MiG-21 fighters, the Intelligence and Air Traffic Control Battalion 2 (NFB-2), the intelligence battalion 33 (NB-33) and AA battery 2 stationed. In 1962 the liaison aviation chain 33 (VFK-33) followed. For a short time in 1971/1972 IL-28 bombers of target display chain 33 (ZDK-33) were also in place. Other occasional users were from January to December 1977 the reconnaissance squadron 31 (AFS-31) from Preschen and from January to November 1985 the 1st squadron of JG-9 from Peenemünde . In 1965, Neubrandenburg was the first LSK / LV airfield to have an aircraft interception system . The field had two non-directional radio beacons in each of the two approach directions (GDR terminology: long -range radio beacon , local radio beacon ), and there was also a panoramic radar and a precision approach radar . The military call sign was DEFEKT.
After reunification
Since 1993, the airport was Air Force of the Armed Forces as an air base and from the airport Neubrandenburg-Trollenhagen GmbH used as a civilian regional airport. The civil handling terminal was inaugurated in 1995. When Rostock-Laage Airport was closed for the G8 summit in 2007 , all flights were diverted to this location. The landing area is also used by police , federal police and army helicopters . In 2006, the destination of Munich , which had been served three times a week by the domestic Regio Air , was discontinued. In 2007, Greece was approached with single flights. From May 2009 the Bulgarian airline Hemus Air connected the airport with Varna once a week . Due to low occupancy, these flights were discontinued early in the same year.
Parts of the former properties of the 3rd LVD of the NVA Air Force were taken over by the Bundeswehr and were used by the Air Force Maintenance Group 22 of the Air Force Maintenance Regiment 2 .
After military use

In September 2013, the military part of the airport was closed as part of the 2011 deployment concept ; the last exercise took place in July of the same year.
Since the current joint use agreement is expiring, the city of Neubrandenburg and the Mecklenburg Lake District should report to the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks whether there is any interest in the airport site. In January 2015 it was announced that the airport would continue to be used for civil purposes, as decided by the shareholders in the district of Neubrandenburg and the municipality of Trollenhagen. By the beginning of 2016 [obsolete] , the existing partnership agreement, which so far provides for a subsidy of up to 360,000 euros annually, is to be reviewed and adjusted.
