history

On May 16, 1960, the founding members met in the "Alten Fritz" in Seesen and founded the first motorized aviation club based in Bad Gandersheim . The initially loose cohesion of interested parties, e.g. T. former war pilots, got a fixed framework. Karl Jahns became chairman and Robert Urban deputy chairman. On June 18, 1961, the 12th powered airfield was finally opened in Lower Saxony . As early as 1957, the first powered airplane , piloted by Karl Jahns, landed on the radiator. In hundreds of hours of work, the former arable land was turned into a level runway and an aircraft hangar was built. In 1989 a gas station was added. In the winter of 1995, the five-year conversion of the flight control building into a flight control, training and restaurant building began. On June 7, 1997 the airfield became the final destination of the Germany flight . On July 25th, 2009 the German Motor Aerobatic Championships took place in Bad Gandersheim .
