history
In the 1930s there were first glider flights on the slope of the Ecknachtal, where the industrial area south of Aichach is today. In 1936 the first buildings (flying barracks, workshops) were erected there. After the end of the war, it was not until 1950 before a local flying club was founded again. At the beginning of the 1960s, the city provided the present site. In 1965, the license to operate was granted on an initially 450 m long track. This was extended to today's size as part of the land consolidation in 1982.
