history
When the Hirzenhain airfield on the "Eiershäuser Hang", which had existed since the 1920s, was closed for safety reasons in 1961, planning began for a new airfield on the other side of the village. In 1964 construction began on the "Great Cattle Pasture". Because of many unexpected difficulties, the airfield was completed at the end of 1965 with the help of an American pioneer unit. The official inauguration took place in 1966.
