The Bremen Airport (proper name since 2017 Bremen Airport Hans Koschnick ) ( IATA : BRE , ICAO : EDDW ) is the international airport of Bremen . It is located in Bremer Neustadt on Flughafenallee . In terms of the number of passengers, the airport ranks twelfth in Germany in 2015, and in fifteenth place in terms of freight (as of 2015).
Location and transport links
location
Bremen Airport is 3.5 kilometers south of the city center in the Neuenland district of Bremer Neustadt . The outermost western part (about 600 m) including the end of runway 27 is in the area of Lower Saxony . Due to its proximity to the city center, it was marketed as “City Airport Bremen”.
The airport can be reached via the A1 , A 27 , A 281 motorways and the B6 and B75 federal highways .
Local public transport
The airport is connected to the local public transport with the tram line 6 of the BSAG , which during rush hour offers a connection every 6 minutes via the Neustadt district to the city center and to the main train station in the direction of Schwachhausen and Riensberg to the university. In addition, bus line 52 runs every 30 minutes from the Roland Center in Huchting via the airport and the Airbus systems to the Kattenturm district and continues from there as line 29 to the districts of Hemelingen, Sebaldsbrück and Neue Vahr -North.
history
Beginning
In 1909, the Bremen Aviation Association , which still exists today and is active at Bremen Airport, was founded . From the beginning he tried to build an airship port in Bremen . The Senate of the Hanseatic City supported this project and commissioned Norddeutscher Lloyd and the Bremer Verein für Luftfahrt to take over the planning of an airship port on Bremen's Werder . In May 1910 an application by the engineer Walter Schudeisky was submitted to Senator Clemens Carl Buff for construction; Schudeisky wanted to carry out flight tests on the Neuenlander Feld parade ground . Both the senate and the garrison command agreed, and so in the summer of 1910 three sheds were built to house the aircraft. Right from the start there were complaints from residents about the aircraft noise and isolated crash landings in the farmers' fields. This led to a brief flight ban. As early as 1912, the now renamed Bremen Aviation Association began offering sightseeing flights and on May 16, 1913 received approval to set up an air base on the Neuenlander Feld. The airport here was almost half a square kilometer. During the First World War there were no flights at the airport. After the end of the war, the Bremen Senate decided in 1919 to build an airport.
Professional flight operations
On July 18, 1920, the Dutch KLM carried out the first international flight over Bremen. On September 15, 1921, the Bremen airport operating company came into being, whose share capital of 75,000 marks and 25,000 marks of working capital did not come from the city of Bremen, but from Bremen personalities and local companies such as AG Weser , Norddeutscher Lloyd , Bremer Bank , Deutsche Bank , Kaiserbrauerei Beck & Co. and the Bremen Aviation Association . The Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen later signed a company leasing agreement and contributed another 1.2 million Reichsmarks. This made it possible for Lloyd Luftfahrtdienst GmbH , a subsidiary of North German Lloyd, to offer flights from Bremen to Berlin , Dortmund and Wangerooge as early as 1920 . Aircraft construction was also closely linked to the airport. Even as the prohibition of aircraft by the Treaty of Versailles began Henrich Focke , his brother Wilhelm and Georg Wulf thus, airplanes in the basement of Focke Museum to build and test on the airport grounds from the 1921st On October 24, 1923, the two of them founded “Bremer Flugzeugbau AG”, which later became “ Focke-Wulf- Flugzeugbau AG”.
From 1925, Hall A was built with 2400 m². Due to the increasing weight of aircraft and faster take-off and landing speeds, a system of paved runways was built in 1937 . A total of four concrete lanes were laid, the longest of which was 600 meters long and 52 meters wide. The orbits crossed each other in a star shape, thus making it possible to maintain flight operations in different wind directions. Together with the taxiways , night flight navigation and the Lorenz beam emerged as the time the most modern airport in Germany, by the press air station Bremen baptized. In addition, in 1937 a new airport administration building and aircraft hangar E were completed on the now almost one square kilometer site. The two-storey functional building combined the weather station , administration, customs and post offices with the check-in counters and a restaurant.
In 1939, civil air traffic in Bremen collapsed completely with the beginning of the Second World War . The Air Force built an air base commander from August 1939th The Bremen-Neuenlanderfeld Air Base, which was the name at the time, was only briefly occupied by active flying units. The I./KG 40 (I. Gruppe des Kampfgeschwader 40) was here from November 1939 to April 1940. From March to May 1940, the Aufkl.St. z. b. V. Bremen started their operations from here and the last one was I./JG 27 (I. Group of Jagdgeschwader 27) stationed here in June / July 1940. The airport then served as a works airport for the Focke-Wulf aircraft factory. It was often the target of Allied bombing raids.
After the Second World War
Bremen became an American zone of occupation after the war. The US Army took over this airfield. After carrying out the first repair work, it used it together with the Focke-Wulf factory premises until March 1948 as an Army Air Force base . Mainly military transport planes flew to Bremen. With the support of the US military , Bremen Airport was able to reopen on January 27, 1949.
In the course of the renovation work, the east-west runway (09/27) was extended to 1,300 meters to the east, and a little later again to 2,034 meters. New radio systems were built, which were supposed to maintain flight operations even in bad weather. This made it possible to use the airport for international destinations.
Within Germany, the Scandinavian SAS flew a few routes per week. For returning US soldiers, flights to New York were offered from Bremen , and Rio de Janeiro was also on the flight schedule in the early 1950s. Although Lufthansa was allowed to fly again in 1955, it did not include Bremen in the flight plan until January 2, 1957; However, on May 1, 1956, Lufthansa established the Bremen Commercial Aviation School at the airport. The school later moved to a new building in the immediate vicinity of the airport and the old building with a direct connection to the apron was left to air traffic control. Today the commercial aviation school operates under the name Lufthansa Flight Training . From 1965 to 1974 a new airport building was built according to plans by Hermann Brede .
After the accident of BEA flight 609 at Munich-Riem Airport , the security areas behind the runways had to be enlarged at the airports . This led to the fact that in Bremen only 1740 meters could be used for take-off and 1909 meters for landing from the west and 2034 meters and 1740 meters from the east, respectively. This resulted in more and more frequent short-term flight cancellations, as a safe start on the shortened route was only guaranteed under optimal weather conditions.
expansion
In the 1960s and 1970s, there were various efforts to rebuild or expand the airport. Because of its proximity to the city and the noise problems, the Bremen Senate defined the airport in 1973 as an airport for short and medium-haul flights. Due to the Ochtum's location in the west and new buildings in the east, there were restrictions on the development of the airport. Planning considerations for a second, parallel runway failed because of the residents' protests. When the capacity problems became more serious, Bremen tried unsuccessfully around 1973 to convince the other coastal cities and the state of Lower Saxony that a major airport had to be built. Instead, the decision was made to relocate the Ochtum for construction costs of 23 million marks. At the beginning of 1982, a plan approval procedure was initiated after Mayor Hans Koschnick had admitted to the residents of the Huchting district that the existing runway would not be extended, but only the existing length of 2034 meters would be made usable by relocating the Ochtum. Plans for a second runway parallel to the first were also abandoned. The construction of a planned motorway and a freight bypass in the area between the airport and Huchting did not take place. Instead, the park was created to the left of the Weser .
In the mid-1970s, holiday flights also started from Bremen. In 1979 the facilities of the instrument landing system (ILS) were expanded. On January 13, 1983, Bremen merchants founded the Association for the Promotion of Bremen Airport . In 1987, Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Blohm (MBB), now part of Airbus , applied for the runway to be extended so that the Airbus wings could be removed using the Super Guppy transport aircraft . In 1988 the Senate of Bremen finally accepted this application and the runway was lengthened on both sides by 300 to a total of 2634 meters. On January 25, 1989, a contract was signed between the city of Bremen, the municipality of Stuhr and the operating company of the airport, stating that the extensions at both ends of the existing runway may only be used in exceptional cases. Another court order from March 2004 stipulates that a certain resident must be informed if the runway extension is to be used. For the expansion of the runway, u. a. the Ochtum will be diverted and a canoeing club based there will be relocated.
In 1989, more than a million passengers were transported at Bremen Airport and the Airport 2000 renovation and expansion plan was created . For the equivalent of 199.4 million euros, almost all the previous facilities were demolished, and a new, three-part terminal building according to plans by Gert Schulze as well as two parking garages and administration buildings were built in their place from 1991 to 1998 . The airport fire brigade was given a more central location. Road courses and tram tracks have been restructured.
Service companies have settled in the neighborhood, and as an airport city they have their own small district. The expansion of the airport city will be carried out in several stages depending on requirements and has not yet been completed.
The German Air Traffic Control , 2006 (DFS) moved one of its area control centers (Area Control Center ACC) from Berlin to Bremen. Since then, all air traffic in the lower airspace (up to flight level 245; corresponds to approx. 7,500 m altitude ) in northern Germany has been coordinated and controlled from Bremen by 200 air traffic controllers there; the largest contiguous airspace in Germany in terms of area. In addition, there is the operation of the tower on top of the DFS building for the airport itself. From there, the arrivals and departures as well as the flights within control zone D are coordinated.
21st century
During the aviation crisis of 2001, exacerbated by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 , the number of passengers at Bremen Airport fell for the first time; the charter area was particularly affected, as TUI increasingly concentrated its activities on Hanover. In 2006, the number of flights fell to 40,419, the lowest level since 1988, and the number of passengers was 1.7 million.
In 2004, Atlas-Air-Service AG from Ganderkesee converted the Beechcraft HLW center at Bremen Airport into a Cessna Citation Service Center for the repair of various aircraft. The hall was located on the apron at today's Terminal 2 (formerly Terminal E) . In 2009 the company moved into a new building on the apron.
The airline Germania was the first low-cost airline to offer flights from Bremen in the summer of 2004, which were taken over by dba a year later and finally discontinued. From the 2005/2006 winter flight schedule, the Easy Jet airline started a daily connection to London-Luton . The airline Ryanair added Bremen Airport to its base network from April 2007 and initially stationed two, and from September a third Boeing 737-800 aircraft in the Hanseatic city. In addition, Ryanair bought a former freight hall and converted it into "Terminal E". Easy Jet withdrew from Bremen at the end of the 2007 summer flight schedule. In 2008, the increased commitment of Ryanair increased the number of passengers to 2,486,337.
Between 2007 and 2008 the airline Air Berlin announced the discontinuation of the three daily connections from Bremen to Munich . Only from May to September 2008 it operated flights to Berlin-Tegel with the Dornier 228 of Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter (LGW).
In 2009, the airport celebrated 100 years of aviation in Bremen . The highlight of the event was the first landing of an Airbus A380 in Bremen, the largest passenger aircraft in the world. The events with the highest number of visitors were the major flight day on May 10th with a wide variety of large and small aircraft and on June 14th the landing of around 100 aircraft that took part in the DAeC's flight to Germany . The event was attended by around 130,000 visitors.
Bremen is the founding place of the Bremenfly airline , which started its flight operations in summer 2009. The first flight took place in May, a charter plane brought fans of the Werder Bremen football club to Istanbul . However, Bremen was not served by the company in regular air traffic. In April 2010, the company's headquarters were relocated to Berlin-Schönefeld before flight operations were completely stopped in November 2010.
In October 2009 Ryanair opened its first domestic German connection from Bremen with Memmingen . This was discontinued at the end of March 2011. From May 2010 to January 2011 Ryanair also flew to Berlin-Schönefeld . Ryanair justified the discontinuation of these (and other routes) with the introduction of the air traffic tax in Germany. The fourth Boeing 737-800, which was stationed in Bremen in summer 2010, should therefore be withdrawn, according to Ryanair. In fact, four of the company's machines are still stationed in Bremen.
With 283,336 passengers, October 2010 was the month with the highest number of passengers since the airport was founded. In 2010, the airport set a new record with 2,676,297 passengers.
Since February 10, 2012, satellite-based instrument approaches can be carried out in Bremen as the first German airport. The system called GBAS ( Ground Based Augmentation System ) works with GPS and several transmitters at the airport, the exact position of which has been measured and the data of which the aircraft can precisely determine its own position. The procedure, operated by DFS, is initially only open to AirBerlin's Boeing 737NG, which can use it to carry out approaches up to a cloud base of 200 feet and a visibility of 550 meters ( CAT I ).
In 2016, the airport's marketing nickname was changed from City Airport Bremen to Bremen Airport . Since November 29, 2017, the airport has officially had an additional name: Bremen Airport Hans Koschnick . Hans Koschnick was President of the Senate, Mayor of Bremen , honorary citizen and holder of the Bremen Medal of Honor in gold .
Airport facility
Passenger building
Bremen Airport has two terminal buildings. The southernmost main building, which forms a curve, was built between 1991 and 1998 according to plans by Gert Schulze . Main Terminal 1 with five passenger boarding bridges is located here . The terminal is divided into three sub-areas, which until 2018 were called Terminal 1 (General Departures), Terminal 2 (Arrivals) and Terminal 3 (Departures of the Lufthansa Group). For the airline Ryanair , a former maintenance hangar was converted into an "economy terminal" Terminal E, now Terminal 2. Since 2018, the central security check for all flights without exception has been located in Terminal 1. (Lufthansa: Gates A01-A05, other gates A06-A14) Ryanair and Wizz Air passengers can use a corridor to enter Terminal 2 after the security check. (Gates B01- B04) There was also the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) for general aviation . Due to tightening of the safety regulations, all pilots and passengers in general aviation now have to pass the central security control, which is why the GAT, which has become superfluous, was left to the resident Bremen Aviation Association for club purposes . The airport has 4,500 parking spaces, of which 2,550 are in parking garage 1 and 1950 in parking garage 2.
Tower Bremen
There is no free-standing tower in Bremen, as is common at most airports. The German air traffic control GmbH took over in 1974 the former school building of the Lufthansa flight school (today: Lufthansa Aviation Training ), and converted it to a control center. The tower pulpit was then erected on its roof.
Meteorological station
On the opposite side, on the southern edge of the airfield, is the building of the flight meteorological station of the German Weather Service (DWD) with the meteorological measuring field .
Airport fire brigade
The airfield fire fighting vehicles (FLF) were a specialty for many years . In the 1980s and 1990s, the employees of the Bremen Airport Fire Brigade developed and constructed fire fighting vehicles based on MAN chassis according to their own ideas (initially from used Bundeswehr vehicles) never gave another time. The FLF comply with the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which has classified the airport in category 7 (out of a maximum of 10) since 2016. At these airports, 15,000 liters of water and 450 kilograms of extinguishing powder must be kept. In the meantime, however, these vehicles have been taken out of service and have been replaced by several Panther fire trucks from Rosenbauer since 2013 . The airport fire brigade has an emergency fire fighting vehicle for building fire protection as well as an escape staircase.
Rescue helicopter
The rescue helicopter “Christoph Weser” of the German Air Rescue Service (DRF) has been stationed at Bremen Airport since October 1st, 1984 .
Visitor terrace and Bremenhalle
A VFW 614 stood on the visitor terrace of the airport until 2014 , which was used by DaimlerChrysler Aerospace to develop fly-by-wire systems. In addition, the “Bremenhalle” (entrance) is accessible via the visitor terrace. It was a museum on the history of Bremen aviation and aerospace . Among other things, the Spacelab, which was largely developed by the Bremen-based space company ERNO , and the Focke-Wulf Fw 44 “Stieglitz” double-decker, which was once built in Bremen, were exhibited here. The Junkers W 33 “ Bremen ”, which made the first direct east-west Atlantic crossing in 1928, is still in the hall. The visitor terrace is partly open again after renovation work or depending on the weather conditions.
Flight simulator
The original cockpit of an Airbus A320 , which was converted into a flight simulator , is located in Terminal 1 at Bremen Airport .
operator
Commercial flight
The operating company Flughafen Bremen GmbH is wholly owned by the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen .
Sport flying
A special feature, unique in this form in Germany, is the seat of the Bremer Verein für Luftfahrt e. V. (BVL), directly at the airport. Since April 2009 the association has resided in the former GAT (Terminal of General Aviation) at Hanna-Kunath-Straße 18. The association, which was founded in 1909 as a founding member of the airport, has special immaterial rights and, as an "airport founder", maintains an extremely close relationship with Flughafen Bremen GmbH ( City Airport Bremen) and operates four Echo-class aircraft of its own at the Bremen location with its powered flight group Luftsport.
He also runs a flight school; several members also have their own aircraft. The four club planes of the powered flight group bear the names of well-known and deserving members of the club's history, such as the name "Hans-Joachim Schulze" (founder and chief flight instructor of the Lufthansa commercial aviation school, who has done a lot for the club). One aircraft is named after the famous stunt pilot " Gerd Achgelis ", himself a former member of the association.
Take-offs and landings usually take place on the main runway 09/27. In addition, runway 23, facing south-west, has been available since 1991. It may only be used for take-offs according to visual flight rules and only from aircraft up to a maximum of 5.7 tons. Take-off weight can be used. If the conditions are sufficient, private pilots should prefer to use this runway, as the take-off route leads over a less populated area and residents are protected from noise. As an incentive for this, reduced airport charges are due when using runway 23
Glider flights were also operated at Bremen Airport until 1974, since then the glider pilots have been active on the glider flight grounds in Osterholz-Scharmbeck and Tarmstedt / Westertimke. Around 100 microlighters fly at Rotenburg / Wümme airfield with three C42s, one of which was purchased in November 2009 and bears the design of the Bremen flag and the name "Bremen". The balloon flight group was dissolved in 2014.
Club lounge
Contrary to popular belief, the small observation tower built in 1964 next to Terminal 2 is not an air traffic control tower but is owned by the local BVL . In 2009 the clubhouse was relocated to Hanna-Kunath-Straße, and the tower was redesigned into an event location called the "Club Lounge". Since then, numerous internal and public celebrations and events have taken place here every year.
On May 10th, 2009 the Bremen Aviation Association organized V. and Bremer Flughafen GmbH held a large flight day on the occasion of “100 years of aviation in Bremen”, in which the aircraft manufacturer Airbus also took part with a family day. For the first, and probably only, time an Airbus A380 landed at the airport in this context.
On the so-called Lufthansa Day, August 9, 2009, the Boeing 747-400 D-ABVR (baptized name: Bremen) landed from Frankfurt under Cpt. Norbert Woelfle in Bremen and took off on two sightseeing flights towards Helgoland on the same day, before the jumbo jet flew back to Frankfurt in the evening.
Destinations
From Bremen there are regular connections to domestic German destinations as well as to various European countries. Charter flights to various European countries, preferably to destinations in the Mediterranean, as well as to North Africa are also carried out.

Criticism of the airport
In 1967 the Association for the Protection of Air Traffic Damage was founded. V. Bremen as an association for the protection of the population against noise, air pollution and other damage caused by air traffic e. V. , which sees itself as a "party-independent protective community". The aim of this association is, among other things, an eight-hour ban on night flights at the airport, a new edition of the noise protection program, information for residents in the form of a comprehensive noise protection report and the ban on visual approaches and training flights over inhabited areas.
Incidents
- On the evening of January 28, 1966, during a go- around maneuver, the Convair CV-440 Metropolitan ( aircraft registration D-ACAT ) of Lufthansa crashed west of the airport on a field next to the Ochtum . All 46 people on board Lufthansa flight 005 were killed.
- On January 16, 1968, a Lockheed JetStar C-140 of the Air Force's readiness for flight ( CA + 102 ) coming from Cologne / Bonn Airport collided with a Piaggio P.149 D of the Lufthansa Commercial Aviation School ( D-EJCO ). The Piaggio, flying on a training flight in the traffic pattern, crashed 2 km north-northwest of the runway, killing the flight instructor and students. The JetStar was badly damaged, but landed at the airport with a belly landing ; however, it became a total write-off.
- On February 1, 1972, the first prototype of the VFW 614 ( D-BABA ) was lost during the test phase when the machine crashed from a height of 3000 meters above Bremen Airport due to a design error. While the test pilot and an engineer were able to save themselves with parachutes, the copilot had a fatal accident. Although he still managed to get out, he was no longer able to open the parachute due to a faint.
- On December 2, 2001, a Dornier 328-100 turboprop aircraft of the OLT - Ostfriesische Lufttransport ( D-CATS ) type coming on a transfer flight from Braunschweig Airport skidded on landing. The left main landing gear collapsed, as a result of which the left wing and propeller violently hit the runway. All three crew members survived the total accident of the aircraft.
- On August 1, 2014, around noon, a historic training machine owned by Lufthansa Flight Training , a Saab 91B Safir ( D-EBED ), crashed after take-off on a car parking space on Kornstrasse just a few hundred meters from the runway . The plane, two tire stores, and some cars caught fire. The pilot and his passenger were killed. In its final report in June 2019 , the Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation came to the conclusion that a mistake by the pilot was the cause of the crash. As a result, the accident was due to the fact that the pilot, when he decided to turn left, did not take into account the speed required for turning, and the aircraft was thereby in an excessive flight condition. In addition, the pilot was possibly distracted by oil vapors and oil splashes on the cockpit window, which could have contributed to the crash.
