history
The airfield at Berkhöpen was opened as a private company in 1958 by Günter Grassmann, owner of a tool factory in Eddesse. Flight operations took place every day all year round; Sightseeing flights could be booked in the restaurant at any time. The Peine-Eddesse airfield was characterized by its special atmosphere and the difficult approach. Wind shear due to the adjacent forest and various tree clearings repeatedly presented the approaching pilots with challenges.

In September 2012, a car slalom of the Peine Motorsport Club took place on the grounds of the airfield.
