The "naval landing airfield" Scheuen was completed in 1918 for the Imperial Navy and served as a station for flights between Wilhelmshaven and Kiel . On November 7, 1918, Scheuen also started a sailors' uprising in Celle based on the Kiel model . After the end of the First World War , the square was abandoned in 1919 .

In the mid-1920s, flight operations were resumed and a flight day was held on March 21, 1926 , albeit to a very limited extent.

In the 1930s, the site regained importance as an external landing site for the Celle-Wietzenbruch air base (today the Celle military airfield) .

After the Second World War , the airfield was finally used by civil aviation enthusiasts and has been operated as a sports airfield ever since.

For several years now, the Bundeswehr has been operating a helicopter training area very close to the site, which is completely enclosed by an on- site training area . The Scheuen glider airfield is also in the immediate vicinity.

Northwest of the airfield is the restricted flight area of the Bergen military training area . In the north-east there is also the restricted flight area, which is part of the Rheinmetall firing range in Unterlüß . In the south of the airport itself also contains the control zones of the air base Celle and Hanover-Langenhagen . The helicopter training traffic to the north and the sailing training traffic south of the airfield are also intensive, so that overall air traffic is very strictly regulated.
