history
In 1955 , flying with simple school gliders ( SG38 ) began on the Singer Berg . From 1960 you had to move to the apple mountain near Themar , as the area of the Pennewitz airfield had yet to be leveled. In 1961 the current site was opened, and in 1968 the runway was extended to 750 meters.
In 1978 the airfield was closed. After the fall of the Wall , flight operations could be resumed in 1991 . In 1999 and 2000 extensive changes to the terrain took place. With the help of the spoil from the tunnel construction of the Thuringian Forest Motorway, a large depression that ran across the site was leveled. The slope was relocated to the new, straight part and enlarged to the current dimensions.
Since then, more new halls have been built. Above all, the steady growth of the ultralight flight division of the club requires new storage facilities.
