geography
The Paderborn-Haxterberg airfield is located in the landscape of the Paderborn plateau near a maximum 244 m high hill called Haxterberg, which is around 4 km (as the crow flies ) south of Paderborn. It extends near the junction of the B 68 from the B 64 or not far north over the valley of the Ellerbach , which is an eastern tributary of the Altenau . The name Haxterberg is derived from the Haxthusen desert , after the noble family von Haxthausen , who used to reside there , and whose ancestral seat is the Haxterberg Tower .
history
The Paderborn-Haxterberg airfield has existed since 1973 and is run by the Luftsportgemeinschaft Paderborn e. V. operated, which built it up mostly in-house after the Paderborn-Mönkeloh airfield that had been used up to now had to be abandoned in the course of expanding the industrial area there. It has a 700 m long asphalt runway with underfloor lighting, which was completed and inaugurated in mid-April 2007. The glider trajectory is 1100 m long; it thus extends over the entire length of the site.
In 1981 the airfield hosted the gliding world championships in cross-country flight and in 1988 the gliding world championship in aerobatics . The "Kopps-Über-Treffen" (a casual meeting of German active glider pilots with a program of lectures and discussion groups) also took place regularly in autumn. This meeting took place at the beginning of November 2007 after a long break at the Paderborn-Haxterberg airfield. In addition, the airfield was the venue for other important national and international competitions and events in the past. B. the German glider aerobatic championships in 1987 and 1989 or the Fieseler aerobatic trophy 1984.
Air traffic
Gliding championships like in the 1980s are no longer possible at the Paderborn-Haxterberg airfield, as the special landing site is now on the edge of the control zone of the Paderborn / Lippstadt airport and one of its approach lanes ( ILS 24) leads over it. As a result, the maximum altitude above the airfield is limited to 1,800 ft.
An approach from the north, east and south is possible at 1800 ft to land on the Haxterberg without clearance from the tower in Paderborn / Lippstadt. All gliders and powered aircraft that want to climb higher must have a transponder and obtain clearance from Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport . Since the operator of the Paderborn-Haxterberg special airfield employs a full-time flight manager , arrivals and departures can take place throughout the week without any problems.
In June 2009, around 60 aircraft crews took off from the Haxterberg for the Germany flight , the other 60 participants took off from Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport . The aim of the multi-day competition was Bremen Airport .
tourism
At the Paderborn-Haxterberg airfield there is a café-restaurant with a view of the city of Paderborn and the Westphalian Bay along the Teutoburg Forest and the Egge Mountains . Because it is in the immediate vicinity of Paderborn's local recreation area Haxtergrund, the airfield is also a frequent destination for cyclists and hikers.
