history

Norderney Airfield was opened in 1970. As early as 1914 there were plans to build a civil airfield. The airfield that existed until then was destroyed by the Allies in 1945. Therefore, in 1954, a makeshift airfield was put into operation on a meadow on the Wadden Sea in front of the golf hotel, but it had to be closed due to recurring flooding and was replaced by today's airfield.

In 1957 the air sports club was founded, which still uses the airfield for aviation.
